I am using Toast 9 and have downloaded 6 hours and I want to put it on three discs as obviously it won't fit onto one, so how do I do this.
Often I have more time than the dvd allows.
Thanks,

Is the six hours of video all in one file? Tell me more about the source videos specs and I can guide you to how you can tell Toast what portion of the video you want included on a disc.

Hi, I am posting here for the first time, so I apologize if this is not the right place for my post. I also have a very large iMovie file (38 GB- or 5 hours) of old VHS tapes. They have been converted to digital through a Dazzle Hollywood converter unit. I am sure that I have been able to compress this and burn it onto a regular DVD(it does not need to by of the highest quality), but now, I am only able to but the regular 4 or so GB on a disc. Any ideas? Thank you.

Use the Toast Media Browser to select your iMovie project and add it to the Toast Video window with DVD video selected as the format. Set up your menu the way you want. Choose Save as Disc Image (don't click the burn button). When that is done go to the Toast Copy window and choose Image File as the setting. Add the .toast image file from the hard drive. Now click the burn button. Toast will do additional compression and burn the DVD to a single-layer disc if it can fit it. I'm not sure what the maximum is.
