Which Of These .vob Files Do I Need To Import?

[tannenbaum]

I have a set of files I want to burn as a DVD. Of these, which do I need to import to Toast?

 

(I'm still using Toast 10, but I assume the answer will be the same.)

 

Second question: in the Video menu, when should I use VIDEO_TS Folders and when should I use VIDEO_TS Compilation?

 

Many thanks,

Drop the VIDEO_TS folder onto the main window, when in “VIDEO_TS Folders” mode. Toast needs the whole folder. Don't bother with individual VOB files.

(If you were to drop a VOB file onto the main window, when in “VIDEO_TS Folders” mode, then Toast would switch to DVD-Video mode, destroying the present authoring (i.e. menu and order).

 

Second question: in the Video menu, when should I use VIDEO_TS Folders and when should I use VIDEO_TS Compilation?

The Toast Titanium Help file says about that: “You can create a DVD from one or more existing DVD-Video VIDEO_TS folders [...]. Toast offers two format options: Choose Video_TS Folders to burn each Video_TS folder on a different disc. Choose Video_TS Compilation to burn more than one Video_TS folder on a single disc.”
