Disk Cover RE and Toast 8

[Eric Gold]

So I've got a DVD all set up to burn in Toast 8 and I want to print a quickie DVD "label" using my DVD-R "print-on" disks and My Epson 960 printer. Toast already knows a lot about my video -- Title, length, date, time, etc., so logically if I choose Disk Cover RE for the "Extras" menu, all the data from Toast should be transferred over and I should be able to print out a nice, simple label for my disk which includes the basic information already sitting in Toast.... Right???

 

BUT, it doesn't seem to work this way! Am I missing something or did Roxio leave out this important between-app functionality?

Disc Cover is currently limited to importing video data from a text file and the RE version doesn't even support that capability. Unfortunately the response to my importing EyeTV (and other?) video data post on the Disc Cover forum wasn't encouraging.

Choose Save from the Toast File menu to save your Toast Project.

 

Then follow these steps in Disc Cover Help:

 

Disc Cover can import data from a Toast audio project: track name, track duration and playlist name (Audio CD name).

 

Open the Music tab on the Source panel (use the Window/Import/Music menu command). Choose Toast in the Import Data From pop-up menu to open the Import dialog.

Select a Toast project.

A list of imported tracks will appear on the Source panel. Select a presentation format (one column, two columns, etc.) of the list and drag it to your document.
