Toast remains open. If you close the Toast application, even when video
encoding is paused, you must restart the process from the beginning.
You can also Pause and Resume video encoding for disc based projects such
as creating a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc™. Once these projects have
finished the video encoding phase and burning to disc has begun, the Pause
and Resume option becomes unavailable. You can not pause the burn
process.
To pause or resume video conversion:
1 Click the Pause button in the video conversion progress dialog to
pause encoding.
2 When you’re ready to continue, click the Resume button.
