Its the I THROW BOTH OF THEM INTO TOAST AND RECORD where you are messing up I think

Do this.

Make a new folder on your HD. Name it using the DVD name like this (DVD_NAME) example SERVING_SARAH or THE_ONE

Drag your VIDEO_TS folder to this newly named folder.

Now open that folder and you should have just a VIDEO_TS folder. Add a new folder and call it AUDIO_TS so that you now have TWO folders.


It should look like this

DVD_NAME
-----AUDIO_TS
-----VIDEO_TS
---------all those video_ts files


NOW, drag the DVD_NAME fodler to toast under the DVD option.

NOTE HOW TOAST NAMES THE DVD THE SAME AS YOUR FODLER called DVD_NAME!

Thats very important. Simply dragging both AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders to toast will make a dvd named AUDIO_TS with a subfolder of VIDEO_TS

Thats not how to do it!

Excellent!
its trickey cause people dont understand (well most dont) that toast assumes the folder you are dragging into it is to be the disk name! unless you have already added a disk and named it with toast.

Thats why I have the foolproof method posted in this forum.
I think ill bump it up so everyone can see it easily still.
