Making a DVD From a VIDEO_TS Folder
You can create a DVD from an existing DVD-Video VIDEO_TS folder and
play it on a set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh or Windows computer
with a DVD player.
Some VIDEO_TS folders may be too large to fit on a standard recordable
4.7 GB DVD. Toast can compress this video to fit on a standard DVD, or if
your recorder supports dual-layer recordable DVDs, you can create a dual-
layer DVD-Video from this folder.
This is the best choice if you have an existing VIDEO_TS folder.
To make a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder:
1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Video choose DVD-Video
from VIDEO_TS.
2 Choose Fit-to-DVD™ video compression.
Fit-to-DVD automatically compresses the video to fit on a standard
4.7 GB recordable DVD. Compressing may result in a slight reduction
in video quality, but will leave the audio quality unchanged.
Note If you are recording to a dual-layer DVD, no compression
will occur.
3 Drag and drop a VIDEO_TS folder into the Content Area from your
hard disk.
A summary of the information that will be copied appears in the
content area.
4 Click Copy Options to choose optional Fit-to-DVD settings:
You can choose to copy only the main movie with a specific language
and audio format. This will reduce the amount of compression
required and maximize quality and available disc space. See Changing
Copy Options on page 110.
5 Insert a blank, recordable DVD.
