The Toast Main Window

The Toast main window contains the following components:

Getting Started

The Toast Main Window

Project Categories (1)

As with the Toast Assistant, the various project categories are laid out across the top of the screen.

Content Area (2)

This is the main area at the left side of the window. For most project types, this is where you drag your files to add them to a project.

Options Area (3)

Located at the right side of the screen, the options area allows you to select options for the current project. This area may be hidden if the Media Browser is being shown. To reveal the options area, simply click on the Options button at the top right of the window.

Space Indicator (4)

Located across the bottom of the Toast window, the space indicator displays exactly how much content you've added to the current project. You can choose CD, DVD or Blu-ray media types to have the indicator calibrated for your target disc.

Record Button (5)

Located at the bottom right of the Toast window, the red record button will begin recording your disc. For video conversion projects, this will also begin exporting your video. The name and function of the button can vary by project. For example, in the Convert category it acts as a Convert button to begin exporting your audio or video.

Media Browser (6)

The Media Browser allows you to easily browse or find music, photos, video, or other files, and preview or add them to a Toast project. On first launch this window will be hidden. To bring up the Media Browser, click the Media button at the top of the Options area. This will hide the options and reveal the Media Browser.

The Media Browser can also be separated from the Toast main window by clicking the icon to the right of the Media button. This allows you to use the Media Browser while the Options area is visible. The features and options available vary depending on your version of the software.

About Discs

Toast supports CD, DVD, and Blu-ray media types: CD, CD-RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD-R DL (dual-layer), DVD+R/RW, DVD+R DL (double-layer), DVD-RAM (cartridgeless), BD-R/RE, BD-R/RE DL (dual-layer). The type you should choose depends on the capabilities of your recorder and playback device, if applicable.

CD Media

If you have a CD recorder, you can use blank CD recordable (CD-R) media to create CDs. CDs typically hold 700 MB of information. Most CD recorders also support rewritable (CD-RW) media, which can be erased and reused. Although both CD-R and CD-RW media work well when creating discs for use on a computer, most home and car stereo players cannot recognize CD-RW media, so you should use CD-R when creating an audio CD.

DVD Media

If you have a DVD recorder, you can use blank DVD recordable (DVD-R or DVD+R) media to create DVDs. DVDs hold about 4.7 GB of information. Some DVD recorders support dual-layer recordable DVDs (DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL), which hold about 8.5 GB of information. Some DVD recorders also support rewritable (DVD-RW or DVD+RW) media, which can be erased and reused.

Although all types work well when creating DVDs to use on a computer, most set-top DVD players can only recognize some types. You should check your DVD player documentation or search online to see which types the device supports.

Using low-cost generic media can cause errors while burning, or produce a disc that either is unrecognized by the player or plays back erratically. Different brands of the same type can work differently in your recorder or playback device. If you are having problems, you may need to switch to a different brand or type (for example, if using DVD-RW, switch to DVD-R).

Getting Started

Using the Media Browser

Blu-ray Discs

If you have a Blu-ray recorder, you can use blank Blu-ray disc (BD-R) media to store data on Blu-ray discs which hold about 25 GB of information. Most Blu-ray recorders also support dual-layer Blu-ray discs, which hold about 50 GB of information. Some Blu-ray recorders also support rewritable (BDRE) media, which can be erased and reused.

Much like DVD players, some Blu-ray Disc se

t-top players may work better with one type of disc than another, and the same guidelines about switching to other brands or types apply here.

Note: Not all versions of Toast Titanium include Blu-ray

authoring.

Using the Media Browser

The Toast Media Browser provides quick access to your music, photos, videos, and other files stored on your computer. You can easily drag-anddrop content from the Media Browser into the Content Area. The features and options available vary depending on your version of the software.

To use the Media Browser: 1 Sho

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

bottom of the Media Browser window.

4 Wh

Getting Started

Changing Recorder Settings

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.

Imported items from a disc are temporarily stored in the Roxio Converted Items folder in your Documents folder. You can use these items in disc projects or save them to your hard disk by exporting audio or video. See Converting Media on page 103. These temporary items can be very large and are automatically deleted when you quit Toast. The original source content is not deleted from your disc.

Configuring when Roxio Converted Items is emptied

To adjust when the Roxio Converted Items is emptied: 1 Choose Toast Titanium > Preferences. 2 Click Storage. 3 Choose when you want to delete the converted items. 4 Close the preferences.

To change recorder settings: 1 Click the Recording Options button at the bottom of Toast’s main



Use Simulation Mode: Select this option if you want to

simulate the process of recording a disc. You might do this to make sure that the write speed you have selected is appropriate for your computer.

What is a Video Disc?

A video disc is a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc that contains photos or video files. Video discs are meant to be played in a set-top player, and can also be used in a Macintosh or Windows computer with a DVD or Blu-ray player and appropriate software.

Types of Video Discs

Toast can create many kinds of video discs—more than any other Mac burning software.

Note: Not all versions of Toast Titanium include Blu-ray

authoring.



MyDVD: You can use MyDVD to create multimedia disc projects,

complete with menus and music. See Making a video disc with MyDVD on



DVD-Video: This DVD can be played in a set-top DVD player or in a

Macintosh or a Windows computer with a DVD player. A DVD can hold between 2 and 5 hours of video or slideshows and offers the best quality and full navigation menus. This is the best choice for playback in a DVD player. See Making a DVD or BD Video Disc on page 25.
