- Don't Waste Your Money, Your Burnable Media, or Your Time
- Toast, while offering a number of potentially useful features, simply does not play nice with the internal superdrives most Macs come with. From the very start, Toast would not burn any DVD without generating errors resulting in failed sessions. These are not limited to any one category, either-data is just as plagued as video-or any one type of media (DVD-R, +R, DL, RW are all equally affected). A failure in the encoding phase is just as likely as in the burning phase. Further, Roxio's mediocre attempt at web-based support offers the following solutions 1.) download new firmware updates, 2.) buy a different type of media, 3.) buy a new drive. Even a cursory search on Google will turn up many more individuals with similar problems regardless of which version of Toast and/or Mac OS. Only with considerable patience and an endless supply of media will Toast encode and burn a DVD; unfortunately, most people don't spend $100 on software that only works 25% of the time, if that. Save your money and devote your time to finding a more reliable authoring program. This one is a waste.

- horrible website and customer support
- roxio has one of the least user-friendly websites on the planet, and offer customer service ONLY IF YOU PAY THEM by the minute!!! the product didn't work, and dealing with their refund process was frustrating. one of the worst consumer experiences i have had online.

- Worth the wait
- I was waiting for a program like this. Whenever I burned disks I wished that I could do batch processing for video files, especially since they need encoding. If not conversion, then at least compression too. I can tag the files and let them run instead of checking after each file is done and tagging the next. Burning has come down to one click too. This is the easiest program I've tried in spite of the numerous features. Toast doesn't have the editing programs that the pc equivalent does, EMC so I do much of editing there. But it does have a directors cut which has enough to streamline video clips.

- CD Spin Doctor in Roxio Toast 9
- Now that I have converted from PC to Mac, I purchased Toast 9 for the Spin Doctor application. I have a Kenwood turntable with a pre-amp that I use to convert my vinyl albums to digital. Spin Doctor works great for this purpose and has many improved features when compared to previous versions of Roxio for the PC. One of the best features is the ability to export directly into iTunes. I've played around with some of the DVD capabilities in Toast 9, but I cannot attest to any of those functions.

- Toast With Marmalade
- Toast 9 was an Amazon Gold Box deal when I purchased it. Great price, so I purchased it on a whim. Having used it now, I would have gladly paid full price for it. It has functioned flawlessly writing DVDs, copying discs and creating CDs. There are lots of bells and whistles I haven't tried yet.
I've read reviews mentioning issues some have with version 9, but it has performed perfectly on my Intel based Macbook . - 2008-08-24, 7 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
