Making a BDMV Folder Disc
You can create a Blu-ray video disc by using an already authored and valid
BDMV Folder. A BDMV folder contains the media files for the Blu-ray
Disc’s video and audio content and is located at the root level of the disc.
This is the best choice if you have a BDMV folder that was created by Toast
or another Blu-ray Disc™ authoring application.
To make a BDMV folder disc:
1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Video and choose BDMV
Folder
2 Drag and drop your BDMV Folder in to the content area.
A summary of the information that will be copied appears in the
content area.
3 Insert a blank, recordable Blu-ray disc as appropriate. Your source
video will not be compressed which may require you to use a dual-
layer Blu-ray disc if the video will not fit on a single-layer disc.
4 Click the red Record button, choose a recorder from the list, and
configure recording options, such as Number of Copies.
5 Click Record to continue.
Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it records your
disc.
Creating an AVCHD Archive
This project makes it easy to back up and archive the content of an entire
AVCHD camera across one or more discs. AVCHD camcorders are capable
of storing much more video than can traditionally be recorded on a single
DVD, and in many cases more than on a single Blu-ray Disc™.
In addition to spanning your video across multiple DVD or Blu-ray discs,
each of the discs created can be used as an AVCHD video source in
applications such as Toast, and iMovie. These applications will treat each
disc as if it was an AVCHD camcorder.
