I know I can't be the only one that owns a variety of CD's and DVD's of different brands and speed ratings. This comes from the all too common suggestion of trying a different brand or speed rating if one doesn't seem to work properly. Finicky burners such as mine might work fine writing one brand of 8X DVD, but with another brand, might need the speed manually dropped to 4X.

So why the restrinction in Toast 7 for using exactly the same capacity disk in a set, with the implied requirement that it also needs to work at the same burn speed as the first disk?

This seems to be to be a highly irrational and unreasonable restriction. After all, who cares whether the disks in a set are exactly the same capacity and speed rating, or whether the disks alternate between, say, 8X DVD's and 24X 3-inch CD's? Certainly the OS doesn't care, and shouldn't.

It would be a whole lot more logical for Toast, when each disk of a set is inserted, to sense the capacity, AND allow the burn speed to be changed as well. We already know it can do both.
