Video/Photo
What Is a Video Disc?
A video disc is a CD or DVD that contains videos or photo slideshows and
is playable on a DVD player or computer.
Supported Video and Photo File Formats
You can use any video file or photo file format that is also recognized by
QuickTime®. See www.apple.com/quicktime
Toast will automatically convert files where appropriate at recording time.
Choosing Video Disc Media
For information about media types, see Choosing the Kind of Media to Use
on page 11.
Understanding Menus and Buttons
The video discs you make with Toast will have menus that contain buttons
similar to the menus and buttons in a commercially-produced DVD. Your
final disc allows you to navigate through menus and select buttons to play
videos or slideshows.
Creating Menus in Toast
Toast will create menus automatically (which appear on the final disc)
when you add video or slideshows.
How do I turn off menus in Toast?
For more information, see Turning Video Menus On or Off on page 104.
Creating Buttons in Toast
Each video file or photo slideshow you add to a video disc in Toast appears
as a button on a menu.
How Many Buttons Can a Menu Hold?
A menu can hold up to three buttons. Each button links to video or a
slideshow. Each time you fill a menu with more than three buttons, Toast
automatically creates a new menu and adds the next button to that.
