I plan to buy Final Cut Studio.

As I understand, the former DVD Studio is included.

Does DVD studio do the same as Toast 8 - or even more? Would it be a waste of money to have both?

DVD Studio Pro is an authoring program. It allows you to create an interactive DVD from the ground up.

With Final Cut Studio, you also get Motion 2, Soundtrack Pro and Compressor 2.

Toast is primarily a program that is used to burn different kinds of discs. It wouldn't be a waste to have both...I own both.

I author my DVDs in DVD SP and duplicate them with Toast. There's no real overlap between the two programs save for the fact that you can burn your disc from DVD SP as well.
