I have been creating DVD's of QT movies using Toast 6 without any problem but... How do you tell a NTSC QT movie apart from a PAL one ? If you try and add both on one DVD, Toast will (at the burn stage) display a error message "a disk cannot contain both NTSC and PAL media". Now obviously th

5.1a not only runs a lot faster and does everything I want but it also does one thing I have not managed to master in any version from 6 on. I can paste an unformatted table into a table formatted with one line and it just fills down. In all subsequent versions it tries to paste the whole table

Just to stop any more people telling me to use Reunion, I do use it but the charts it produces are not as flexible as drawing them yourself. In old versions of Reunion you could import the chart into Canvas and really modify it ... But that was a few versions ago. Waterfall charts in my mind c

Hi Diana I know it's not the way you want to go (and I sympathise with your rant as a user of a number of irreplaceable classic apps, such as Pagemaker), but the charting capability (and flexibility) of Reunion makes it a great family tree creator. We create and modify charts all the time in
