Please, please help me.  I've used Toast for a long time to make DVDs from Video_TS files, and that's always been fine.  However, today for the first time I tried to just copy a DVD (it's small enough), well it messed up so I went to do it again, but now I see that it is ripping it on to my computer, taking space from my hard drive each time, but I don't know where to find these files.  On the Toast help it just says that it creates temporary files and deletes them after burning, but that's obviously not happening since the copy has messed up twice, and it's just taking up more and more space.  I have been searching high and low but cannot find anywhere where these files can be found.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

If you quit Toast or if you log off and back on the hard drive space should be returned.
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately that does not appear to work, I've restarted the computer and the hard drive space doesn't appear to be restored.  Anybody else??

You could try a utility called "WhatSize". It's free from macupdate.com

That appears to have done the trick.  Thanks so much for your help, both of you, I really appreciate it.
