Convert VCD to TOAST

Understanding VCD and TOAST file formats

VCD (Video CD) files are disc image files that store the contents of a Video CD, typically used for storing video and audio data in MPEG-1 format. These files are often used for creating backups or duplicating VCDs.

TOAST files are proprietary disc image files created by Roxio Toast, a popular disc authoring software for macOS. TOAST files can store data, audio, or video disc images and are commonly used for burning CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs on Mac systems.
