(2) When I change the background and such on the menu page, I don't see an option for a single video to be displayed with a thumbnail.

(1) They mention in the sales pitch that you can have an intro video play before the menu comes up, but for the life of me I can't see how to do that. I have played with it enough to 'kind of' get the idea of changing the menus to my liking, but I have plenty of questions I fear won't be answered in their help files.

I just reluctantly purchased Toast 20 Pro in hopes that it might have these features. I have been looking far and wide for a Blu-Ray burning program that allows for custom menus and additional features like director commentary, and an intro video that plays before the main menu.

I am new here but hope I can get some wonderful tips. If Corel would allow custom menu import into Classic Mode, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, OKAY! I will continue to learn about the 'new mode' when I need custom menus, otherwise I'll keep using 'Classic Mode' where I can have more control. It seems to me that Corel must have actually hired someone to work on Toast that knows something about creating video discs because the program seems much smoother in it's operation than any other version since Corel destroyed Toast after they bought Roxio. About Time it got fixed!ДЎ- Can't create custom menus in Classic Mode where we can better control the burning processДў- When you load a video, the filesize isn't showing the file's actual size based on the bit rate and there's no control over the bit rate.ДЈ- It seems in 'New Mode' it wants to encode everything and it took 21 minutes to burn a 3.8GB file to a toast disc image This looks like a great addition to the software and it has very good editing capabilities from what I've seen so far.Дў- Looks like Corel fixed the problem in Classic Mode where you clicked on Edit one of the video's and it would NOT display the video so you could accurately set beginning/end of the clip. Discs created with Toast are automatically cataloged.1- Creating custom menus. Using a new helper app called DiscCatalogMaker RE-which you access from the Extras pulldown menu-you can catalog the contents of any disc so that you can look up where files are stored even when the disc isn't in your system.

And if you archive a lot of info on discs, you'll love the cataloging feature. The gauge in the program's lower-right corner makes it easy to see how much data you've loaded into the center window.

Its data-spanning feature, which lets you save large files or folders across several CDs or DVDs, now produces discs that work with both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Toast 8 also has plenty of additions that work with standard drives and discs. Unfortunately, our test system wasn't equipped to handle these abilities. It also lets you create Blu-ray discs if you have a Blu-ray burner attached, or LightScribe discs if you have a LightScribe drive. Toast now lets you burn TiVoToGo recordings to a DVD or convert them for use on a PSP or an iPod with video. If the improvements to version 7 felt a little light to some, version 8 impresses with significant additions.
