1 On the left side of the Toast window, click Video and choose the disc
format. For example, choose DVD-Video.

3 Add photo or video files to the disc by dragging and dropping them
into the Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser, or by
clicking the Add button at the bottom of the Media Browser window.
Tip: To use the Media Browser, choose Window > Show Media
Browser or press Ctrl+S. From the Media Type pull-down menu,
choose the type of media you want to browse. For example, to browse
your DVD-Video discs or Video_TS folders, choose DVD. You can also
use the Media Browser to browse and add other files, such as TV shows
recorded by EyeTV or transferred from your TiVo. (See Using the
Media Browser on page 23.)
You can add any QuickTime-supported video files, such as DV, AVI,
MOV, HDV (1080i/720p), and MPEG-4. You can also add files that
QuickTime doesn’t support such as iMovie HD projects, MPEG-2,
DivX, Eye-TV recorded shows, and TiVoToGo transfers.
To add an iMovie HD project, first save your project and quit iMovie.
Then add the saved iMovie project file into the Content Area. You do
not need to do any special export formatting in iMovie prior to adding
the project to Toast.
Each group of photos you add into the Content Area appears as a
slideshow. Each slideshow will have a button in the disc menu that you
can choose to play the slideshow. You can duplicate, rearrange, remove
or edit slideshows. See Working With Slideshows on page 95.
