2. Launch Toast.
3. Select the “Video” tab from the top bar to burn a DVD with video and audio.
4. In either the initial window that appears or in the drop-down menu below the top bar, select the disc type: DVD-Video.
   Note: You will not be able to select the option “High Definition DVD-Video”.
5. Name the DVD in the text box next to the disc type drop-down menu.
6. To add the file(s) to be burned, either:
• Click-and-drag the file(s) from the computer into the main Toast window, marked with “Drag video files or pictures into this area.”
• Locate the file(s) under the Media tab to the top-right and click the plus button.
7. Adjust the Options, located under the Options tab to the top-right.
   • Menu Style: We do not recommend you incorporate menus into your burned DVD. To disable menus, select “No Menus” in the Menu Style drop-down.

   • “Auto-play disc on insert” is recommended.
