Hi Severin, I did this back in Toast 10, have not tried it in Toast 11. This is how it is supposed to work in Toast 11 (Save as a Disk Image and test before burning a DVD).
In Toast 11: 1. The process to transcode PAL to NTSC in Toast (or vice versa) is to set your desired output preference in Toast Preferences. 2. Now choose DVD Video as the format in the Toast Video window. 3. Insert the source DVD or place the VIDEO_TS folder on the Desktop. 4. Click the Video tab in the Toast Media Browser and scroll to DVD. There you'll see the video(s) contained in the source. 5. Drag what you want to the main Toast window. You will see an edit window. If you don't want to make any edits just click okay. 6. Now set up a menu the way you want. 7. When done either choose Save as Disc Image (my preference) or click the Burn Button. If you choose Save as Disc Image you can burn that to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window. Toast will ask if you really want to convert the video's format. After that it will transcode the video for a new DVD.
