More on reauthoring DVD's - multiple shows

Some DVD's have two, three or more short movies. Toast's "main feature" selection won't work with those.

For such discs:

Rip the DVD to the hard disc using Mac the Ripper (Mac OS X)

View the file properties for the VOB files in the finder to see which ones are biggest.

In Toast, choose the 'Video' tab, and then the 'DVD-Video' radio button. Check the boxes for 'auto play disc on insert' and 'play items continuously'. In Toast's main window, add the VOB files you want.

Note about audio - the VOB files should have the audio track embedded in them. In Toast's main window, select one of the VOB files and then click the 'edit' button - you should see file details about the VOB file, including whether it has any audio.
