Re: Does Toast (or another program) do this: Date: December 16, 2006 02:22PM |
I might jump ship and try Disco (and 9 other apps for $49 at Macheist)... the other alternative is ponying up the same amount before rebate (or more) in order to keep up with this Toast app. I dunno.
I don't like the idea of the spanning app when something much simpler would do the trick (I can write 1 of 10, 2 of 10... with a marker).

Throw a bunch of files at it that are way larger than a CD or DVD and have it burn a series of as many discs as necessary?
Seems like an obviously useful capability, but I can't find it.
Even larger then an DL DVD?
EDIT: I meant, is a DL DVD not capable of holding all of your data?

I gave my Father in Law 2 full DVDs of family pics (he actually wanted this) and it turns out his DELL has no DVD drive. I'm thinking 10 CDs should do it... I ALSO want the burning software to burn the files in the order I specify--hope that's the case w/Disco as I go off to DL it.

DragonBurn does it and costs much less than Toast or Disco. Even though I have Toast 7, I prefer DB.

A DVD drive (desktop) is cheaper than Toast...
Except there's no way I'm adopting whatever problems arise from opening and installing something in his DELL.

The picture on the DVD should play in almost any DVD player. Me thinks.
What does he plan to do with them? View them or print?

View, edit, print... interesting note on playing the disc on TV, though.

Not much of a problem with a desktop (read: external) DVD drive.
Playing discs on TV is pretty cool too. I've seen drugstore kiosks that let one create a video slide show from a memory card. I haven't played such a disc on a computer, though.
