Question 1. I assume I cannot burn DVDs even with Toast software?
With Toast and an external DVD recordable drive you could. You could also burn some types of DVDs with an external DVD burner and a hack for the iLife Suite.
Question 2.
Do I need Toast in addition to all the CD burning software in the MacOS 10.2.8?
For burning your own data to CD, no. That being said, I find that the whole process of burning data to CD in the finder is slower as it makes an image of your data, and then burns that image to CD. Toast skips the image making process and just burns the data out.
Question 3.
Does anyone else have a similar setup and care to comment on Toast?
I have used Toast 5 on my 17" PB under both 10.2.x and 10.3. It works fine under both. I personally did not find anything in 6 that makes me feel compelled to spend $79 on the upgrade (especially since I bought 5 about 2 months before 6 came out).
Question 4.
Can you burn a movie on a CD? a video CD?
There is a standard called a Video CD (as well as Super Video CD). The basic differences are picture size and quality. Toast 5 only will burn video CDs. I think Toast 6 can burn Super Video CDs...
Hope this helps
