You should kill whatever converted files are already there.
  Some key prefs are hidden in "recorder settings" check those out.

I have Toast Titanium 6 and want to make copies of my son's college 
work, which he has rendered on to DVD (using FCP and DVD Studio Pro, I 
believe). His disks all have AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. As I have 
never used Toast Titanium, would someone give me a quick run thru of 
how to do this, if it is feasible to do.

It should be very easy.
  use the "copy" panel of Toast.
Use the little blue button on the left to open the window.
Make it a DVD copy.
Press the button.
Choose a place to put it.
  Make it so.
Come back later.
Drag the new copied file back to Toast or else it might already be 
there waiting for a fresh disc.
As long as the material isn't copy protected or over 4.7 gigs it should 
work.

Happy New Year.
