You can preview a DVD prior to burning an actual disc by saving it as a disc
image and then using the Toast Image mounter.
To preview the DVD:
1 Instead of recording, choose File > Save As Disc Image.
2 Select your disc image and choose Utilities > Mount Disc Image.
You can also select the image, control-click and choose Mount It.
See Saving Disc Images on page 33 and Mounting Disc Images on
page 34.
The DVD is mounted on the Desktop. Use the DVD Player software
included with Mac OS X to preview it.
If you are satisfied with the results, use the Image Copy format to record it.
See Copying a Disc Image File on page 123.
Changing Copy Options
Fit-to-DVD compresses 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. By default, the entire disc is copied, with all
menus, video, and audio. You can choose to exclude specific video, audio,
and languages. Excluding unnecessary content reduces the amount of
compression required and maximizes quality and available disc space.
To change copy options:
1 Click Fit-to-DVD video compression and add your source to the
Content Area.
2 Click Copy Options.
