Getting Started with Toast

Using the Media Browser

You can preview most media files by selecting them and pressing the

space bar, by double-clicking them in the file list, or by clicking the

Preview button at the bottom of the Media Browser.

Toast will display progress information while the items are being added. If

the content is being added from a disc (such as from a set-top DVD

recorder or AVCHD camcorder) this may take several minutes, as it is

imported from the disc onto your hard disk.

Imported items from a disc are temporarily stored in the Roxio Converted

Items folder in your Documents folder. You can use these items in disc

projects or save them to your hard disk by exporting audio or video. See

Converting Audio and Video on page 125. These temporary items can be

very large and are automatically deleted when you quit Toast. The original

source content is not deleted from your disc.

Configuring when Roxio Converted Items is emptied

To adjust when the Roxio Converted Items is emptied:

1 Choose Toast > Preferences.

2 Click Converted Items.

3 Choose when you want to delete the converted items.

4 Close the preferences.
