I would like to know if Toast 8 can PROPERLY copy a Dual Layer video DVD.  These are personal DVDs created using iDVD.  My understanding is that you should not typically copy a Dual Layer video DVD because the layer break will not be respected during the copy.  I am wondering if Toast 8 can do this.

Note that I am not looking to re-encode the video.  I am just looking to make exact duplicates with the layer break intact.

Thanks.

I would like an answer to this as well.  I am currently downloading the version 8 software and will attempt a copy of a DL to another DL.  I have been slow to use the DL disks as I didn't make back-ups of the disks as they were too expensive when they first were released.  Now that the prices are falling, I hope to be able to use Toast for the archiving of those disks.  Will let the forum know when my tests are finished.

Well I finished the copy and checked it out.  It works fine with the layer break intact.  I does take some time with the extra amount of info a DL can hold, but just make sure the check box for compress to 4.7 disk is turned off.
Enjoy the new version.
