What could be happening is your optical drive is going to sleep waiting for Toast to finish the encoding. I have been able to convert it to iphone use and the program works fine, just won't allow to burn to a disc. Once it's on the computer I try and burn it to a disc and it (Toast) crashes after the encoding process.

I then have been using the TIVO Transfer application to download the show to my computer.

But now as soon as the encoding is finished the program crashes and a dialog box comes up in addition to the crash box that say "you have inserted a blank disc, open in finder, eject, etc" The programs are TV Shows that are in HD and recorded to a TIVO HD box. Then normally it will burn to the disc in the drive. If I select the video it goes through the entire show and "encodes" it. Does it happen right at the beginning of the encoding or some time in the middle or near the end? Did you do any editing of the video? Did the video come from a TiVo or EyeTV? But that raises the question about what is causing the crash. Now that I see that, just choose Automatic instead. I've never noticed that the scale is wrong when choosing Never re-encode when adding a HD video for a video DVD project. Toast has to re-encode a high definition video to the standard-definition video DVD specs, so choosing Never re-encode has no effect other than to make the scale wrong. I have tried to get Roxio to help but they say it my problem and their program is fine. All the other things inside Toast (Music, convert to iPhone, etc) work fine. I'm thinking that there is something with OSX 10.6 that won't allow Toast to work properly in Video. I did trash the preference files and got Toast to burn to a disc once, but when I try that now it just crashes. It drags in ok but then when I try to make a disc image or burn it from Toast to a disc the program encodes the video and then crashes in both instances. So I thought if I dragged the file from the converted items folder it may work. In fact, when I tried to get the file from the media browser the Toast program would freeze and I would get the spinning pin wheel. I tried that also, and the same thing happens. You can change whether the Roxio Converted Items file is automatically emptied by changing the setting in Toast Preferences. m2v video file then this probably won't work, either. What will happen this time is Toast will multiplex the video before writing the disc image. Set up the menu the way you want and choose Save as Disc Image again. m2v file to the Toast Video window with DVD video selected as the format. Toast automatically empties this folder when it quits but doesn't when it crashes. In the Roxio Converted items folder (by default in your Documents folder) you should see the encoded.
This is very unusual and I don't know what might be the cause. I thought the crash at that point was because of problems waking the drive to start writing to the disc, but you're experiencing the crash when trying to start writing the disc image to the hard drive as well.
If the process finished correctly Toast would report that it is writing the disc after it finishes encoding. The crash is happening before the disc image is written, so the disc image you see is just a place holder waiting to be filled with the written information. If Toast is open when you insert a blank disc that message should not appear, but if a blank disc is in the drive and Toast quits or isn't open you'll get that message from OS X. The dialog box about inserting a blank disc comes from the OS.
I'm uncertain of the reasons for the difficulties you're experiencing.
