So it seems that Toast saves the image differently on the 1TB drive. I then tried to save the same project (I never quit toast between the saves) to the 1TB FW800 drive, and it created the separate files with. I tried the same thing on my internal iMac Drive (SATA), and no problem. dmg, in fact I can change the extension and it mounts fine.) Curious. Today, I tried saving my DVD project to the original FW800 500GB drive, and it created a perfect disc image. I had mostly filled up my 500 GB Firewire800 drive, so I got an additional FW400 1TB drive, and I have been saving my TiVo videos and DVDs to the new 1TB drive. I have several external hard drives, both Firewire 400/800 and USB. But, after playing around with it for a while longer, I discovered some new info, and a work around, so maybe this will help shed some light on the problem: My problem seems to be different, though.

So, does anybody know how to create a a Disc image file (.dmg) file from a DVD project in Toast 9.0.4? Or can you confirm it is no longer possible, so I don't waste any more time on this? It says it does this 'by default' which seems to imply that maybe there is an option to change that, but I can not find anything in the preferences to change the way a disc image is saved.

The Help file (pdf) for Toast 9 says (page 35) that selecting 'Save As Disc image' will create a Mac Disk image file that is mountable using Disk utility. Also, I can not use these files to burn a disk using Disk utility, and, to have a disk mounted, I need to keep Toast running, as it greys out the quit function on Toast when I have a disk mounted. If I had not done this with previous versions, or if Toast Help didn't say otherwise (see next paragraph), I would assume that this was the way it was supposed to function. As far as I can tell, this is the way that Toast works. This has happened with several different projects, different videos, etc, the results are always the same, this is not an issue with just one particular project. Not being able to create a single disk image defeats the point of testing the image before burning a DVD. If I burn the project right to a blank DVD, it plays fine, beyond the 20 minutes or so that will play from the image that toast mounts. I suspect this is the point in which it is trying to read beyond the first 1GB file, but I'm just guessing. I can use Toast to mount these files as a disk, and it shows up in the Finder looking and acting like a DVD, but only the first 20-25 minutes of the disc will play in DVD Player, and then I get errors and it quits.

But now what I get is a series of exactly 1GB files with names like MyDVD.toast.001, MyDYD.toast.002, MyDVD.toast.003, etc. What I always got before was a Mac image file (.dmg), which was mountable with DiskImageMounter or Disk Utility and playable with DVD player. I create a DVD project, and choose to save as disc image (from either the file menu or the icon in the Toast window), which I have always done, so I can preview and test the disk. I used to do this in previous versions of toast, but now that I have Toast 9.0.4, it either works differently, or this feature has been removed.
