Toast 9 - indispensible for digital media on the Mac - MallieP., Jun 20, 2008

At first glance Toast 9 looks like any other burning program. It does much more though. Before you burn there are tools to trim videos and don't worry about wasted space. If you're in a hurry like I am much of the time there is a compression option which is another way it saves room. The end results will work on multiple systems. Come on, not everyone has a Mac so I need Windows playable discs. I'm now saving everything in HD which of course takes a lot more space. I can use ordinary discs and not have to buy any special ones. I've also made more use of my Blackberry. I can export from the Mac to the phone with Toast's tools. I have made use of old tapes too with the tape to digital with the Spin Doctor assistant. Of course with all the options it needs to have a good interface. Check on that. Menu items are organized in a logical fashion. Of course there's still the old point and click for several main functions.

Innovation is in the software, not just hte hardware - Luca Roma, Jun 11, 2008

I've always relied on Apple for innovative computers and devices but frankly I don't think they've done a lot in the software area. Sure they may have created certain video and audio formats, but they've left it up to other software makers to pick up the slack. I mention this because I think that Toast shows how much can be squeezed out of Apple hardware and its done much better than Apple itself.

I immediately noticed that every aspect of disk authoring is more efficient and faster. Is anyone else surprised that the program burns blu-ray disks on a regular dvd burner? That's what I mean about software utilizing hardware capability. It may not be a true blu-ray disk in the sense that it doesn't have as much data, but the quality is there. There are 2 ways to fit large files to as few disks as possible. There is a fit to DVD feature. If the file is still too big the program will span the files over as many disks as it needs. With better video quality taking up more space I use this feature more than ever.

Like many software companies you can get a rebate for upgrading. I take advantage of these offers for my security and tax programs and this is no different. It's worth sending in the paperwork and getting a discount. For those who haven't used Toast before I would say that it is an essential program, much like a wordprocessing one.

video streaming, blu-ray support besides great basic digital media programs - J. Brel, Jun 06, 2008

Since Apple is selling the best devices I decdied to add a MAC pc instead of getting another pc cpu. Roxio's Easy Media was the program I used, and still use on PC for digital media. I tried a basic Apple burning program which was free but it was really limited. It seemed logical that I get the Mac version of Creator for Mac digital media. Add to this my iPhone and Playstation 3. I lucked out by choosing Playstation instead of Xbox 'cause it has blu-ray. It can't burn blu-ray disks though so I still have to rely on computers. I also have the option of streaming the video to anything that is wired, including my iPhone and PS. These are the extras that make Toast really good. I would still get it even w/o these features because it does the basic digital media activities really well. It burns disks easily and has many more options I made several slideshows and they did work on my pc too. I didnt' have to do any extra converting. There are enough dvd menu looks that are included, but it's just as easy to create ones using my own photos. It's a good combo of set templates and tools for customizing.

Made me a believer in Mac - CalvinKB, Jun 02, 2008

I've been a die hard pc user but now that Apple has caught up in the processor speed department I bought a laptop. I'm still getting used to the unique Mac functions and Toast has helped me with some hurdles. I've used Roxio 9 on the pc so I bought the Mac equivalent. There are a lot of similarities so it was an easy transition. There is the auto data id system for songs which I found wasn't in previous Toast versions. I like that I can compress a dual layer disk into a regular dvd since the former is expensive. I've also gotten into tivo since it supports computer viewing. I can even edit the tivo files and discard unnecessary footage. This makes it even easier to back them up on disks and my iPod. Blu-ray is now the next generation format and Toast burns this format. It is a great program for dealing with video and music.

Toast surpasses others in media burning and converting - Marco Hatvany, May 23, 2008

I'm a long time Toast user who skipped a version. I bought a new Mac recently and upgraded some of my software including Toast. I don't understand how anyone can burn discs on the Mac without Toast. I love Apple, but they've pretty much ignored disc burning and copying. The first thing after install is a notice to upgrade the software (pet peeve - requires registration to download - argh). But Roxio seems to have done a couple of bug fixes already. I have not had any crashes so far. The new look is a nice improvement, but not dramatic by any means. There are a ton more formats supported. It's great to convert audio and video formats and supports all the popular formats. Perhaps not for everyone, but one of my favorite features is burning high-def video from my Canon HD camcorder on to a standard DVD and watching it in HD on my HDTV (using Sony PS3 built in HD drive). Yes on a standard DVD. (TiVo supported as well.) There are some other clever features. For example, you can pause a long video project to regain control of your Mac and resume later (if you've done a long video project you know how helpful this is.) You can stack up multiple DVDs to convert one after the other. You can recover files off damaged discs. The bundled apps are pretty decent. There's a pretty good backup app that backs up compressed files that opens with zip on Mac and PC. So it's not a closed format you need the app to use - so your not stuck if the app disappears next year. There's Streamer, which is hard to believe it actually does what it does. You can stream video files from your Mac at home to any web browser - iphone or even windows PC - over the internet. One of my favorite features is capturing any song playing on your Mac, even internet radio stations, and saving the song as an MP3 file and, the magic part, you can automatically add the song info like title, band, album name so your iPod can properly sort the songs. Toast is a must have for Mac users.
