It's also the case with something like 'Burn.app' that you can't add in
chapter points[0] - the video consists os a single chapter.

Never seen any trouble from it not being there,

Toast has some rudimentary DRM protection built in,
which sometimes thinks it should refuse to burn,
for some unfathomable reason.

Ah. Hmm. Okay. I've bought a few of them. Never seen how to back 'em
up. I don't think I really need to bother spending money on that to
back up my handful of Iron Maiden CDs with vids on 'em.

(I've seen the band, that'll do me for video. And since it was about 25
years ago I saw then band, it was all as it should have been)

I don't think that all producers of hybrid discs in the world use Toast,
do they? Commercial and all? Toast is a global monopoly on this?
Shouldn't think so...

Might well be that there's nothing else suitable for home users that's
pushed to us, though.

That's why I use them! I sell them after my shows, and they're (slightly)
more difficult to duplicate.
