Photo Disc: This disc can be used on either a Macintosh or a
Windows computer, and allows you to archive and share your photos
or other images. It preserves full-quality images and plays slideshows
on any Mac or PC without the installation of additional software. See
Making a Photo Disc on page 68.
Overview of Making a Data Disc
This section describes the basic process of making any data disc with Toast.
To make a data disc:
1 At the top left side of the Toast window, click on the Data icon.
2 Choose the disc format. For example, choose Mac Only.
3 Choose any optional settings.
4 Add files and folders to the disc by dragging and dropping them into
the Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser, or by
clicking the Add button at the bottom of the Media Browser.
5 Optional: Rearrange, rename and remove items from the Content
Area. See Working With Data Content on page 50.
6 Insert a blank, recordable CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.
7 Click the red Record button, choose a recorder from the list, and
configure recording options, such as “Number of Copies.”
8 Click Record to continue.
Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it records your disc.
Note Data projects are automatically cataloged in
DiscCatalogMaker RE to allow for easy tracking and searching of
disc contents. You can disable this option on the Advanced tab of
the Recorder Settings dialog which appears when you begin to
burn a disc.
