combining and burning .toast files
January 24th, 2020
Anyways, I got a whole bunch of .toast files tonight for Final Cut Studio. They’re all labeled as follows: Final_Cut_Studio_2.toast.001, Final_Cut_Studio_2.toast.002, Final_Cut_Studio_2.toast.003, and on and on and on. There’s 81 of these separately split up into 50 MB sections (when combined they exactly fit onto 1 DVD, that being 3.94 GBs worth of info total). I’ve been told that I can burn these files using Toast. I’ve got Toast 7 Titanium, but have no idea how to combine these disc images so that I can place them all onto a DVD that I would then be able to run as the disc for FCP. Three questions:
1.) Do I have the correct version of Toast?
2.) How do I combine these files into a single disc image so that I can burn them?
or
3.) Do I just place these all into Toast, burn them together as a data DVD? Will the resulting DVD be fully functional?
I’m not totally sure on how to do this. I’m familiar with combining dmgs, I’ve done that plenty before, but I have had little experience working with .toast files, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
They are probably compressed, like RARs. Open them with Stuffit Expander.
My computer doesn’t even detect them as archives (it detects them as mpegs), which I find a little weird. Should I remove the number from the end of each of the files so that each file simply ends in .toast?
Also, once I decompress them, how should I join them together so that I can install the program?
The .001, .002,…. extensions are simply a file split with hjsplit

There’s a version for every platform.
Thank you. That was exactly the answer I was looking for.
Thanks a ton. I can’t wait to start using FCP.
