Video on page 115.
Imported video is temporarily stored in the Roxio Converted Items folder
in your Documents folder. Imported video files can be very large (2 GB for
every 10 minutes of imported video) and are automatically deleted when
you quit Toast. The original source content is not deleted from your
camcorder DV tape.
You can configure your preferences to save these imported items for a
longer time. See Configuring when Roxio Converted Items is emptied on
page 25.
