- Disappointed
- I had high hopes for this product to be able to transfer my collection of LP vinyls to CDs. I tried to use it years ago on my PC but gave it up for obvious (Windows) reasons. Finally on a Mac (Powerbook G4) I thought it would be a breeze. It has been anything but; starting with very poor documentation, and none whatsoever regarding "SpinDoctor" the part of Toast that deals with the transfer of analog to digital media. I have experienced not only constant crashes of the programs but unexpected and not so sporadic recording of distortion. The program itself has gotten "corrupted" becoming unusable and the solution, at least mine, has been to uninstall and then reinstall the software; that seems to solve the problem, at least temporary.
After having spend quite a bit of money on Roxio products, Windows version and now the Mac one, I expected more. I should have paid more attention to the reviews on all the forums about it that were more negative than positive. - 2008-10-03, 2 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- YOU CANNOT RETURN DEFECTIVE ROXIO PRODUCTS
- I purchased MyDVD 9 from Roxio and it failed to work properly. When I consulted their technical support the suggestions they made were based on Windows Vista (it took them over a week to get back to me). The only problem is that my OS is Windows XP which I spelled out very clearly in my initial e-mail request. When I tried to get my money back they said they would not return products that were not purchased directly from Roxio. Consequently, IF YOU BUY ROXIO PRODUCTS YOU CANNOT RETURN THEM!!!

- At last, streaming and burning
- Hooking up the Mac or PC to a tv is not so easy. I involves some interim connectors and even some paid services. I don't want to pay extra for streaming so this is the solution. I go from tivo to Mac/pc, then device or disc. The Windows version though doesn't have streaming. Good choice when I don't have time to convetrt or enough room on my touch ipod. Toast gives me another way to watch video. With the NFL kicking off already I know I'll be using it more. Saves me from being a couch potatoe. I can watch from while waiting on the train, the kid's appointments and so on.

- Essential for Mac media
- All the options for making disks put this ahead of the pack. I used to settle for plain disk burning software not being aware of other options. Now I can compress files and use a minimum of disks. I can keep the quality high too. Besides saving files I've made the video self running on the dvd since some school pcs didn't want to fill their hard drive. It also makes pc/Mac compatible disks. A bonus is the sound mixer. I didn't notice it when I looked up the specs but I'm glad it's there. It's easy to make a few custom pieces even for a tone deaf person. Keep it up Roxio!

- comprehensive feature set in a solid package
- This is a nice update to version 5 that I had been using. I found it very useful at allowing me to access and convert my TiVo content. It does not compress as well as some other software but has good video quality and is no slower then other products. If you only got Toast it would be a good deal, but it comes with 6 apps making this a very good bargin. I had trouble getting streamer to work with my firewall and router, but it is still nice to know there is real value with your purchace. Other apps that are a real nice bonus are the disc cover and discCatalongMaker (addressing a real gap for me when I back up documents and want to print an easy index of the contents).
