Operation Manual

Getting Started

Using the Media Browser

Note: You can also access discs from set-top DVD recorders or

DVD camcorders. Toast includes special support for these discs,

which normally are not usable in the Mac OS. Insert these discs

in your recorder while Toast is running, and then import video

from them with the Media Browser.

3 To search for files or folders enter a search term in the text field at the

bottom of the Media Browser window.

4 When browsing audio, photos, movies, or DVDs, you can filter the

media list by choosing a playlist, album, video or specific DVD, title or

chapter from the Media Browser browse menu.

Note: You can expand the browse menu into a window by

dragging down the small dot immediately below the menu.

5 Select any item in the file list and drag it to the Content Area to add it

to a disc project or click the Add button at the bottom of the Media

Browser.

You can select multiple items by holding down the Command (Apple)

key while clicking, and then drag the entire selection to the Content

Area.

You can select groups of items by clicking on the first item in the

group and then holding down the Shift key while clicking on the last

item in the group, and then dragging the entire selection to the

Content Area.

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.
