Burning Tracks From Pro Tools onto DVD-R?

[drumphil]

I have Pro Tools LE 7.0, A Mac, and Toast Titanium for burning files to disc. I'm trying to figure out how to burn my raw tracks onto a DVD-R. I assume someone out there must have done this before. If so, how?

First you need a DVD-R drive.

Most Macs only have CD-R drives.

What kind of Mac is it?

It's a Power Mac G5.

BTW, I'm trying to burn a "session" onto DVD so that my bandmates can work on their parts with their own DAW.

drag the entire session folder...which will include session file, audio files and fade files.

You will get a Disc allocation error when opening it up the first time, but just click past it.
You'll also want to check what version your friends have of Pro Tools. If they have anything below 7.0 you'll need to save your session as a 6.x file. Also, if they are running PC you'll need to make sure you have the Mac/PC compatibility option checked...you should have done it when you created the session...otherwise you'll have to do a Save Session Copy In.

Thanks for the info,
My bandmates are using Sonar and I think it's an older version. Will your instructions still work?

well, you won't be able to open a Pro Tools session in Sonar. They are two completely different programs.
If you want them to open your tracks in Sonar you'll need to bounce down each track individually (all with the same start time) and then import them individually into Sonar.
