[MacDV] Re: More than 90 minutes

[Gerhard Kuhn]

When I first installed Toast 6 I recorded a 2 hour television movie and 
encoded it without editing commercials or anything and it fit fine on 
the DVD-RW.  I was very disappointed in how little control you have 
over the whole process especially the creation of menus.  The disk 
looked fine when played on TV.  The other thing I have made with Toast 
6 was a slide show and it worked as well but I thought the picture 
quality is better when using iDVD and you don't have the editing 
capability of iMovie.

In my experience Toast is able to encode and record projects much 
longer than 90 minutes.
