I tried saving a dvd as an disc image file.  I was able to do so, and saw that the default is to save it as a .toast file.  I can access it on my hard drive and watch it.

However, when I try to make a Video_TS compilation cd, I have a problem.  I can drag a .mov file just fine.  But, when I try to drag the .toast file, I get this message:  File is an unsupported format and cannot be imported.  Huh?  I created it in Popcorn.  I don't know much about _TS files, so that must be the problem.  

So, I guess the real question is ---- when saving a dvd as a disc image, should I save it as a .toast file, or give it another extension?  Will other extensions even work?  Again, I am saving these as disc images so that I can later put together compilation discs, with chapters from multiple dvds.

This gets back to your other question about mounting disc images. When you save as disc image you get a .toast file. When you mount that file you can access its contents, such as the VIDEO_TS folder that is inside.

OK, got it.  I double clicked on the disc showing on the desktop, and it opens up a window showing the Video and Audio _TS folders.  Thanks!
