You can also register or check that your product is registered by doing the following: Go to System Preferences and look for the DivX Icon under 'Other' Click on the DivX Icon: If next to Status you see 'Registered' then congratulations, your product is registered and ready to use! If it reads, 'Unregistered' then, click on the Enter Serial Number button and enter your serial number. If you are having problems with your serial number - see ' for reference.
Ok, but I have lots of avi files. Is it also possible to use DVD-ROM(UDF) to burn the avi files and then use it in a Divx player?
Or do I have to convert the avi files to Divx? I'm not really sure. Many AVI's are already DivX files but others use codecs that likely cannot be read by a DivX-certified player. If you look at the AVI's in the Toast Media Browser or add them to the Video window you will see a description that includes DivX if that is the encoding codec that was used. (In the Media Browser you need to select a title and click the eye icon in the lower right to see a file description.
One I've checked states 'DivX Movie File' right below the video's title. I also don't know if there are some other MPEG 4 formats that can be played by DivX-certified players. DivX sells a standalone encoder if you don't have Toast 8 or 9.
Whoa whoa whoa! I have Toast 9 and I was just about to purchase Toast 10 when I read this. So you're saying that in Toast 10 we cannot burn our AVI or MPG files to a DivX CD or DVD? Even though this feature works beautifully in Toast 9.
Any comments from Roxio on why they would remove a major functionality from Toast 10? Kupe You're not going to get an answer from Roxio. Over the years I know it's not the kind of question they address in the forums. I'm disappointed, too, that I have to keep Toast 9 for the DivX encoding. I'm speculating the reason(s) had to do with customer research about how little this feature was used in Toast, licensing fees, compatibility issues with other Toast features, and/or the much-greater emphasis on h.264 rather than DivX for Mac users. Release 1.4.7 for mac.
All those guesses could be wrong, of course.

All those guesses could be wrong, of course. Well, I'm open minded to different ways to approach a problem. The reason I like DivX CDs and DVDs is because a) I can burn them in about 1/10th the time of a conventional video DVD my setup DVD player can play them c) I can put literally dozens (even hundreds) of AVIs or MPGs on one DivX DVD So, I guess my question is, is there a similar solution in Toast 10 for burning AVIs and MPGs to disk that meet a) and and c) above?

Kupe My reason for choosing DivX is different: they take less space than MPEG 2 on my MediaGate's hard drive even though they take longer to encode. But the MediaGate can't play h.264. If you can't get your hands on Toast 8 or 9 then go to macupdate.com and search for DivX to see what else may meet your needs. Edited January 14, 2009 by tsantee.

Toast 10 does not ENCODE DivX files, but you can do the following without problem: 1) Burn existing DivX video to a disc for playback on your DivX-compatible set top player This process is no different than in previous versions of Toast, you should use the Mac & PC or DVD-ROM UDF disc format, add your files to the Content area and burn. 2) Convert DivX files to other formats or burn to DVD, BD, AVCHD on DVD By installing the free DivX decoder from www.divx.com (click FREE DOWNLOAD) you can add DivX files to any video project within Toast. You can use these files, just as you always have, as a video source for burning DVD-Video, Blu-ray discs, or convert them to another format such as for your iPhone or iPod.

2) Convert DivX files to other formats or burn to DVD, BD, AVCHD on DVD A third alternative is to download a program called which does any number of video file conversions (including at least 4 different options for DIVX playable files) and makes the conversions MUCH quicker than either Toast OR DIVX converter. The program costs $15 to activate some advanced options, but works just fine as FREEWARE for the needs of most people. The only drawback is that you have to carefully read the online documentation or utilize its online forum on (which is a great resource for all video burners as well.).

Thank you for telling me I can do things other than what I want to do. Even if the loss of DivX encoding was because the DivX people made DivX 7 intel only, there is still no excuse for not making this profound change in functionality clear.
