I ripped my copy of the interpretter using mac the ripper. So i have a video_ts folder. I also have a DL burner. When i go to burn the video TS folder with toast 7 it tells me that it needs to use compression to fit on the disc. If i have a DL drive why is it asking me to compress?

Any ideas?
 
I don't use Toast all that much. I've found that Dragon Burn 4 suits my needs when I need to burn out a Video_TS folder to a dual layer disc.

(Before you all start crying 'pirate', I'm in the process of converting 20 year old Super 120 VHS tapes to DVD/DLs, which then need to be batch burned. I find using iDVD to master once and then DragonBurn to produce further copies is a pretty good solution)
 
My workflow to back up my movies.

1. Mac the Ripper (To rip the DVD)
2. DVD2oneX (to compress the video to fit on a 4.5GB DVD)
3. Create a BURN FOLDER and burn the video_ts & audio_ts.
4. Enjoy!

Same exact thing I do, works every time.
 
With Toast I always burn a disk image first to make sure it's OK. Then I just use disk utility to burn the disk image to DVD. When you burn a disk image Toast asks you whether you want to burn single- or dual-layer.

Toast has myriad uses over the freebies. For example it can convert your DVDs to DV for iMovie.
