Well, I may be wrong in a way - correct me if I am:

1. If I insert a DVD with no enough room on it to copy the source, it scans the disk, source, etc and at the end bombs saying there is not enough space on the DVD to burn calling me to start over all the process that is wasted.

2. If I try to burn a DVD but the process got aborted half-way due to no space on the DVD (image file created by this time), and I insert another DVD, there is no way to just burn the already created image file to the DVD. I have to start over the process again! This happens even if there already is an image file and I have no way of burning multiple copies from old image files. Common, the data/image file is already created and all we need to do is just burn it to the DVD instead of re-creating the file. Provide another option to burn from an image file?

3. If the source is located on the hard disk, is there any way to directly burn the output to the DVD without creating the intermediate image file? Or, can there be an option to auto-delete the image file on successful burning of the DVD? These image files are as large as the DVD (upto 4.4 GB) and users may forget to manually delete them to recover the lost space!!

Thanks!

1 and 2

You can burn the image again using the burn DVD-image command under the Advanced menu.

What kind of DVD-R medium are you using?
Some types not always provide the right size information.
Don't use too cheap stuff (they will last not very long)

Taiyo Yuden is a very good brand!

Select use temporary for the Image location
To do this goto the preferences, than select Burning, here you will find it.

As to 3: Assuming the data you want to write on the DVD fits its capacity (4.7GB), then any number of utilities (including OSX's Disk Utility) will do the job. Even a drag, drop and dvd eject will work.

Do not totally understand 1 and 2 as to what the issue is that you are asking about.

Toast can handle the writing of mega GBs of data spanning multiple DVDs. Toast does not support spanning of compressed data onto a DVD such as a movie DVD.

If multiple copies of an existing image file is wanted, then utilities like Toast can easily handle that.

Many folks use DVD2oneX (DTOX) to verify the logical integrity (removing 'fake' VOBs for example) or select specific sections (main feature for example) of the MactheRipper (MTR) output then burn the DTOX created image with Toast.

Try burning to an image instead of straight to disc. Check the size of the image. It should be 4.36 GB or smaller. Once DVD2onex has finished, mount the resulting disc image on the desktop and use DVD Player to run it and see how it looks. If it's O.K., burn it to a DVD.
