Recorder Sharing
The ToastAnywhere feature helps you share CD, DVD or Blu-ray recorders
across a network or the Internet with other users. An entire office or home
network can use a single recorder.
To share your recorder with other users over a network:
1 Choose Toast > Preferences.
2 Click the Sharing tab.
3 Click Start.
4 If you want to establish a password that users must type in to access
the recorder connected to your computer, click Require Password. A
dialog box prompts you to enter the password. Click OK when you are
finished.
Other Toast and Popcorn users will now be able to request access to your
recorder provided that Toast is running on your machine and your recorder
is not in use.
To record from Toast to a shared recorder:
1 Set up your disc project as you normally would.
2 At the bottom of the Toast window, click the Recording Options
button.
A list appears displaying names of any recorders connected to your
system and any shared recorders on the same local network.
3 Choose the name of a shared recorder.
To access a shared recorder at any location on the Internet, choose
Other Shared Recorder. A dialog appears, where you can enter an IP
address.
4 If the person who is sharing their recorder set a password, enter the
password in the dialog box that appears.
5 Click the red Record button.
The person sharing their recorder will be prompted to insert a blank disc.
Toast displays a progress bar as it records your disc over the network.
