Toast 10

[Gmann]

I keep trying to transfer DVD to the hard drive and this program is horrible. I have read the manual and it describes things like "Click CONVERT". There is NO CONVERT OPTION!! This thing is horribly impossible.

There a 5 icons at the top left of the Toast window. From left to right they represent Data, Audio, Video, Copy and Convert. Click the appropriate icon for the kind of project you want to do.

Without getting into a discussion of copyright issues (depends on the country in which you reside), you are then able to transfer most DVD content to your hard drive. This will save wear-and-tear on your optical drive, and will save battery power if you are using a laptop.

To the best of my knowledge, Toast works only with unencrypted video data.
