Hi All, I need an app capable of burning data to DVD's and capable of Spanning. Disco, does not actually do this and Austin has acknowledged the bugs, but no idea when it will be fixed. What other applications are there? Thanks, -Jason
Have you looked at Roxio Toast? Scott On Aug 11, 2008, at 11:27 AM, J.

I have owned Toast 6 and 7 in the past and they were always very buggy. Has Roxio changed since then? Is Roxio a big company now-a-days? -Jason On Aug 11, 2008, at 11:40 AM, Scott Roebuck wrote: > Have you looked at Roxio Toast? > > Scott > > On Aug 11, 2008, at 11:27 AM, J.

Still using Toast 8 here. It is used to archive projects to DVD and works well albeit slow as expected... The only problems I have had in the past was using a DVD burner who's firmware was out of date... replacing the DVD writer with a newer model usually did the trick... sometimes you could flashwrite an updated version of the firmware and it would work... I would say that Roxio will be around for awhile and that their product works very well... and I don't even get any money from them... I wish however that they would write drivers for auto loading DVD burners such as the Primera Bravo so that you did not have to feed DVDs all day... The only other disk spanning systems I have looked at have been Windows based solutions. Good luck. Scott On Aug 11, 2008, at 4:02 PM, J.

they whom i call J. Todd Slack wrote: > I need an app capable of burning data to DVD's and capable of Spanning. many options (besides toast) <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070519051857216&query=spanning> Apple Backup (gagging sound from the eanut gallery) also look at man page for hdiutil, the span option
Toast works. You can span files across DVDs and (IIRC) it includes an application on the disk(s) to extract the archives and stitch them back together (so even if Roxio / Toast goes away, as long as this app still runs you can extract the files).

One note, Toast 9 finally does spanning correctly, giving you the option to NOT split files across DVDs. It only took them 5 years... -- -- There's nothing to do, so you just stay in bed [ah, poor thing] Why live in the world when you can live in your head?
