Making a DVD-ROM Disc

This type of disc can be used on a Macintosh or a Windows computer; if it

contains valid DVD-Video content, it can also be used in a set-top DVD

player. This disc format is best if you have a VIDEO_TS folder and wish to

add additional DVD-ROM data content.

If you have a VIDEO_TS folder and you wish to create a DVD-Video (and

optionally compress the folder to fit on a DVD), you should use the DVD-

Video from VIDEO_TS disc format. See Making a DVD From VIDEO_TS

Folders on page 112.

To make a DVD-ROM disc:

1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Data and choose DVD-ROM

(UDF).

2 Drag and drop a valid VIDEO_TS folder into the Content Area from

your hard disk.

Toast will automatically add an empty AUDIO_TS folder to the disc at

burn time for improved compatibility with set-top DVD players.

3 Double-click the small disc icon under the word DVD-ROM at the top

of the Content Area to rename the disc. By default, the UDF disc will

be named MY_DISC.

4 Insert a blank, recordable DVD.

Note You can also insert a blank, recordable CD to create a

miniDVD. This type of disc has far less capacity than a DVD and

will not play in your set-top DVD player, but should play in your

Mac or PC.

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

configure recording options, such as Number of Copies.

6 Click Record to continue.

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

The disc is recorded with UDF version 1.0.2.
