Making a Mac Only Disc

3 Click More for additional optional settings:

■

Disc Name: Type a name for the disc.

■

Icon: Choose a custom icon for the disc. (See Custom Icons and

Backgrounds on page 49.)

■

Disc View: Choose the default Finder view for this disc: icon,

list, or browser.

■

Background: Choose a custom background color or picture for

the disc. (See Custom Icons and Backgrounds on page 49.)

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.

5 Insert a blank, recordable disc.

6 Click the red Record button, choose a recorder from the list, and

configure recording options, such as Number of Copies.

■

Multi-session CDs: If you are making a data CD and would like

to leave the disc “open” so you can record additional data sessions

at a later time, click the Advanced tab and choose Write Session.

You can now continue to add data to this CD until you have

exceeded its capacity or you choose Write Disc to “close” it. Each

recording session will appear as a unique disc icon on your

Desktop. This is normal Mac OS behavior and is not controlled

by Toast. You cannot make multi-session DVDs or Blu-ray discs.

7 Click Record to continue.

Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it records your disc.

If the files and folders you are recording exceed the capacity of a single disc,

Toast will automatically span this data across multiple discs. See Disc

Spanning on page 54.
