What is a Video Disc?

A video disc is a CD, DVD disc that contains 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 player and appropriate software.

Toast can create many kinds of video discs.



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 on page 14.



High Definition DVD: This is a unique type of D VD which allows you

to author HD video to DVD, for playback in true high definition. See
Making a High Definition DVD on page 16.



VIDEO_TS Folders: Use this project to create one or more DVD-

Video discs, each from a separate Video-TS folder. See Making a DVD
From VIDEO_TS Folders on page 25.

Making a High Definition DVD

High Definition DVD is a unique type of video disc which allows you to
author HD video to DVD, for playback in true high definition. This gives you
the ability to create HD video discs without owning a Blu-ray Disc recorder.
Although you are recording to standard DVD discs with this project, you
can only view the finished project on a Blu-ray Disc player such as the
PlayStation 3.

A standard, single-layer DVD can hold approximately 30 minutes of HD
video and a dual-layer DVD can hold approximately one hour of HD video.
While Toast will allow you to add more than these lengths of video, adding
additional video requires that video be compressed further and results in a
lower quality video.

To make a High Definition DVD:
7 Choose DVD-Video from the format selection menu.
8 Click the Options button, if necessary, and select High Definition DVD

as the format. The other disc settings and options available are
identical to those available when creating a DVD. For more
information on these options and settings, see Making a DVD on
page 14.

9 Add your HD video files to the disc by dragging and dropping them

into the Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser.

10 On the disc gauge at the bottom of the window, select DVD or DVD

DL as your target media type.

11 Insert a blank, recordable DVD.
12 Optional: Change the destination recorder and number of copies at

the bottom of the screen.

13 Click the red Burn button at the bottom right of the Toast window.

Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it records your disc.

Making Video Discs

Making a DVD

Disc Encoding Settings

When creating a DVD-Video, you can choose various options for the video
and audio encoding. Some of the more common settings are available on
the Options panel.

To change the Encoding Settings:
1 Start a new Video Disc project:



See Making a DVD on page 14.

2 On the Options panel, click Customize, and choose the Encoding tab.
3 Choose either Automatic or Custom:



Automatic: Choose this option to use video and audio

encoding settings that maximize quality and fit the most
content on the disc. Variable bit rate encoding is used for video,
Dolby Digital 192 kHz is used for audio, and aspect ratio is
determined automatically from the source videos.



Custom: Choose this option to manually set video and audio

encoding options. This option is recommended only for people
who have an understanding of video and audio encoding
terminology.

4 If you selected Automatic, choose the Video Quality:



Good: Suitable for simple video, such as people talking—

fastest processing time.



Better: Suitable for most video—average processing time.



Best: Suitable for complex video, such as fast motion—slowest

processing time.

21

Toast DVD

22

www.roxio.com

5 If you selected Custom, choose the video encoding options:



Average Bit Rate: Sets the desired average target bit rate for

the video encoder.



Maximum Bit Rate: Sets the maximum bit rate for the video

encoder.

The minimum bit rate is derived from the above two values
using the following formula: Minimum = (2 x Average) –
Maximum.



Motion Estimation: Choose the method used to search for

pixel movement in the video stream. This setting has a large
impact on the final quality, and on the processing time as well.
Better motion estimation takes longer to process.



Half-PEL: Choose whether the motion estimation operation

also looks for pixels that move only one half of a pixel from one
frame to the next. This setting should usually be enabled and
should only be disabled if speed is desired over quality.



Re-encoding: Choose Always to re-encode all source video.

Choose Never to not re-encode any source video. Choose
Automatic to only re-encode non-standard source video.



Field Dominance: This setting should match the field order of

the source video. DV is generally bottom field first, but other
types of video may be different. In most cases, Toast is able to
detect the field order of the source video and the Automatic
setting should work fine.



Aspect Ratio: This setting should match the aspect ratio of the

source video. In most cases, Toast is able to detect the aspect
ratio of the source video and the Automatic setting should work
fine.

Making Video Discs

Making a DVD

6 If you selected Custom, choose the audio encoding options:



Audio Format: Choose Dolby Digital or uncompressed PCM. In

almost all cases, Dolby Digital is the best choice. It uses less disc
space, so you can fit more video on the DVD, and the sound
quality is almost the same as PCM.



Data Rate: Choose the bit rate to encode the Dolby Digital

audio. Higher bit rates can produce slightly better sounding
audio, but use more disc space. Toast uses 192 kbps by default.



Dynamic Range Compression: Enabling dynamic range

compression reduces the range between loud and soft sounds
in order to make dialogue more audible, especially when
listening at low volume levels.

7 Click OK.

Note: You can also click Reset Defaults if you want to reset the

encoding to the default settings when Toast was first installed.

The Toast Preferences contains options for setting the appropriate TV
standard for your video discs.

To change TV standard preferences:
1 Choose Toast > Preferences.
2 Click the Video tab.
3 Choose the TV standard:



NTSC: Create discs compatible with televisions in North

America, Japan, and parts of South America and Asia.



PAL: Create discs compatible with televisions in much of Europe

and Asia, and parts of South America.

4 Close the preferences.

Encoded items are temporarily stored in the Roxio Converted Items folder
in your Documents folder. These items are available for additional disc
projects and will not need to be re-encoded. Temporary files can be very
large and are automatically deleted when you quit Toast.

Making a DVD From VIDEO_TS Folders

Making a DVD From VIDEO_TS Folders

You can create a DVD from DVD-Video VIDEO_TS folders for playback on a
set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh or Windows computer with a DVD
drive and DVD playback software.

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 dual­layer DVD-Video from this folder.

To make a DVD from a VIDEO_TS Folder:
5 From the main Toast window, choose VIDEO_TS Folders from the

format selection menu.

6 Click the Options button, if necessary, to reveal these optional disc

settings:



Use 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.

25

7 Drag-and-drop VIDEO_TS folders into the Content Area from your

hard disk.

A summary of the information that will be copied appears in the
content area.

8 Click Options to choose optional Fit-to-DVD settings.
9 Insert a blank, recordable DVD.
10 Optional: Change the destination recorder and number of copies at

the bottom of the screen.

11 Click the red Burn button at the bottom right of the Toast window.

Toast automatically adds an empty AUDIO_TS folder to the disc at
burn time for improved compatibility with set-top DVD players.

Viewing Information about a Disc

You can view detailed information about a blank or recorded disc in your
recorder. This feature works only with CD, DVD recorders.

Note: Make sure that the disc is compatible with your recorder.

For example, you cannot use a DVD recorder to view disc
information for a Blu-ray Disc.

To view disc information:
1 Insert a blank or used disc into the recorder.
2 Choose Recorder > Disc Info.

The Disc Information dialog appears. The Medium section contains
information about the disc itself (such as space available, supported
write speeds, and manufacturer ID) and the Content and Details
sections contain information about the contents of the disc (such as
individual tracks or sessions, CD-TEXT, and ISRC codes).

Saving Disc Images

Instead of recording a project to disc, you can save it as a disc image file. A
disc image file is a single file, saved on your hard disk, which contains all
the data and formatting information needed to create a CD, DVD. Image
files contain all source data (as opposed to saved Toast projects which
contain only references to the data).

You may also want to save a disc image file to avoid having to use a blank
disc. Mounted image files appear and behave like an actual disc in your
computer. For example, you can create a disc image for a DVD-Video
project and preview the output using the DVD player in your Mac without
having to burn it to disc. If you are satisfied with the results, you can then
burn a disc. If not, you can simply delete the file and start again, and you
have avoided wasting a disc.

Disc image files have an added benefit of being faster to access than a disc
in your drive and may offer longer battery life for notebook users.

You can create disc images from any Toast disc type.

Using Other Toast Features

Comparing Files or Folders

To save a project as an image file:
1 Set up your disc project as you normally would.
2 Choose File > Save As Disc Image
3 Type a file name and select a location to save to.

By default, Toast creates Mac disc image files, which are compatible with
the Disc Utility program included in Mac OS X. You can also use Toast to
create cross-platform (Mac & PC) disc image files.

Comparing Files or Folders

You can compare the contents of files or folders to see if they match. You
might do this to double-check that the original files are identical to a copy
you made of them.

Compare differs from the verification that Toast performs after recording a
disc. Verification only compares source data to a recorded disc, while
Compare can compare any two data sets, such as two files, folders, or hard
disks. Compare checks each individual file when comparing the data,
while verification compares only blocks of data. Both are accurate, but
Compare is more precise and can usually tell you exactly which file is
missing or damaged.

To compare folders or files:
1 Choose Utilities > Compare.
2 Choose whether you want to compare folders or files from the pop-

up:



Compare Folders: Compares any two folders, hard disks, or

discs.



Compare Files: Compares any two files.
3 Click Original.
4 Select the original data you want to compare and click Open.
5 Click Copy.
6 Select the copied data you want to compare and click Open.
7 Click Start.

the original but missing from the copy will appear in the list.
