Well, that last bit seems to have done the trick. I haven't burned a DVD for my use in over three years.
TOAST TITANIUM FOR MAC 10.5.8 720P
The AppleTV is connected to my 720p HDTV via HDMI while the WD player is connected via composite (red/white/yellow) cables to my old SD Toshiba set. I also have an original AppleTV (with the internal hard drive) and I can push the files (or stream them) to the AppleTV from my iMac. When I export to H264 (for AppleTV, for example), the resulting video may be dropped into an external hard drive and plugged into the WD player where it plays just fine. (I have more tips about Submerge so let me know if the above process works for you and I can post some of them.)Īs for wanting to sit in front of your TV to watch your movies, well, so do I and that's why I have a Western Digital TV Media Player (not the mini nor the "Live" versions). The AIC/mov file will be the same quality as your original but will have the subtitles burned into the video track. You'll end up with a huge file but, as you're eventually going to DVD, you'll toss this "intermediate" file after Toast finishes converting and authoring it. First get the subtitles rendered (changing size, font, style and background as you wish), then select "Export" from the File menu and, in the ensuing dialog, select " QuickTime Movie", then, in the settings, select Apple Intermediate Codec for the video and Apple Lossless for the audio. Submerge permits you to do a "custom" export (using the settings QT Pro Player would otherwise provide).
TOAST TITANIUM FOR MAC 10.5.8 MOVIE
No problem if it turns out to work, but would you have recommended another format? You mentioned "using a high-enough bitrate during the export phase", but Submerge doesn't seem to give you the option - just a short menu of formats, unless I'm missing something.Īs to why I am burning to disk - I spend enough time in front of the computer screen than when I relax, I prefer to do it away from my desk and watch a movie on the living room TV! I am now repeating the exercise, though I was a bit puzzled as to what to export to I finally chose Quick Time as the most familiar format, though that may have been a mistake, as it exported 8% of the file in two minutes and then ground down to a speed of just 14 fps, so I guess it's going to be an overnight job (the frame rate just keeps going down and down). OK, I made both the errors you guessed at when using Submerge for the first time (though in my defense, I would add that the documentation is execrable): I hadn't renamed the subtitle file, and I "saved" rather than exported the rendered file. Rumplestiltskin, thanks for your continued interest and advice.
