If you’re doing batches, that really helps.
#TOAST FOR MAC REVIEWS MOVIE#
For instance, there’s improved one-click copy of audio CDs and movie DVD functionality. It may, though, be for the more routine tasks of burning and copying that users will be most grateful. Conversion and clean-up of crackly and poppy analog sources have been streamlined and worked well in testing. It’s always been the tool of choice for digitizing cassettes and LPs. The excellent ‘Spin Doctor’ has been completely improved.
If you work with music-only DVDs, you can now include menus and utilize Dolby Digital sound.
But it’s an advantage to have them available in what may well be many users’ primary media manager, Toast.Īnalogous improvements to the audio capabilities of Toast are very welcome: you can now incorporate crossfades and volume normalization and other plug-ins that enhance the presentation of your work, as well as such tools as track trimming, which have only been available until now in Roxio’s Jam. Of course, there are many other tools which will do that.

There’s now a new photo-quality archiving and slideshow feature which will also work on Windows and can be enhanced with clip-art, and by drawing- and text-editing tools. Then Blu-Ray, the high-capacity (25GB single and 50GB dual-layer) optical disk technology: Toast 8 makes work with this medium easy and reliable with a drive icon appearing on the desktop.ĭVD menu backgrounds can now be custom-designed – a good thing since the available examples are few and not always appropriate for every type of movie. Although this functionality was not tested in this review, close monitoring of and communication with those who were able to do so suggested it works well.

This is thanks to an exclusive agreement Roxio has secured with TiVo so it would seem unlikely that you will be able to do this with any other software on the platform soon. Such files can also be exported via Toast for iPods and Sony PlayStation Portables (PSP) as well. Perhaps most striking is the new TiVoToGo feature: with Toast 8 you can now transfer television programs recorded in TiVo format to your Mac – either to watch on its screen and/or burn onto DVD (or CD) for later use on a dedicated standalone player. Changes in Toast 8 Titanium fall into five areas: Photo/video, Music/audio, Burning/copying, Files, and User Interface. The list of new features, enhancements and improvements for Toast 8 Titanium is long and impressive, making this a significant step forward for Toast and one which all serious users of audio and video media who want to preserve such data on CD and DVD should also take. This product is thoroughly recommended on one or more of three counts: reliability, ease of use and elegance enhanced and new functionality and features not found anywhere else. Under most circumstances, for many types of users, there will be. But with basic burning functionality built into OS X, there have to be compelling reasons for paying nearly $100 ($80 for an upgrade).

The Toast series of products from Roxio, now a division of Sonic Solutions, has long been the market leader for managing and burning digital media.
