40 Toast Titanium www.roxio.com PCM audio should be used if you want to maintain 100% fidelity and only if the audio source is already uncompressed PCM, such as tracks on an audio CD or a high quality audio recording.

44 Toast Titanium www.roxio.com If the Apple DVD Player software is installed on your Mac, you can preview a video by clicking on the small Play button on the video thumbnail. Languages: Select which languages to include.

46 Toast Titanium www.roxio.com To make a BDMV folder disc: 1 From the main Toast window, click Video. 2 Choose BDMV Folder from the format selection menu. 3 Drag-and-drop your BDMV Folder in to the content area.

Making Video Discs Making a video with Web Video Capture 4 Select your AVCHD source in the Read from pull-down menu. AVCHD camcorders typically appear as a removable volume or drive. 5 Insert a blank, recordable DVD or BD disc. 6 Optional: Change the destination recorder and number of copies at the bottom of the screen. 7 Click the red Burn button at the bottom right of the Toast window.
