A must-have for Mac users who burn a lot of video DVDs.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

I used to own Toast Titanium 6, and Toast 8 is a big upgrade. For users like me, who burn a lot of videos to DVD, Toast 8 is a must-have.

Disc spanning, which allows for the burning of data across multiple discs, certainly helps in backing up large files, and I use it often. And the "Fit to Disc" compression for burning a large VIDEO_TS to one 4.7GB DVD is also much-used feature for me, since I work with a lot of video.

I also encode a lot of MPEG-2 files at work, and burning them to DVD is a snap, and the final product looks great. Toast 8 also allows for customizable menus, based on 10 templates, and you can replace backgrounds and change button colors to your liking. I'd have liked less tacky template options and the ability to choose my own fonts, as well as the ability to add my own chapter markers, as opposed to the automatic markers Toast adds every 10 minutes. But still, for everything else Toast 8 does, these are small things.

I've also tested quite a few video file formats, and Toast 8 can burn most to DVD or VCD. Basically, if QuickTime can handle it, Toast can burn it; though depending on the format, some take longer to transcode.

I can't attest to how well the add-on software, like Disc Cover, Motion Pictures, Toast Video Player, and Deja Vu work, as I use other programs to do that. But for what I wanted Toast 8 to do, namely authoring DVDs, it does most of it without any problems. For the cost and ease of use, Toast is the best disc burning solution out there for the Mac.

Warning to those who need closed captioning

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2007

Verified Purchase

Toast 8 works pretty well and is fairly intuitive. (The documentation leaves something to be desired, but that seems to be the norm for software.) I bought Toast primarily to be able to copy Tivo files to DVD. It does that well enough. BUT I am hard of hearing and rely on closed captioning. Programs moved from Tivo to a Mac and played back with the Toast video player (included with the software) do have closed captions. But if you burn a Tivo program to DVD, you will lose all captions. There are a few threads on Roxio's user boards discussing this problem -- didn't even occur to me that it might be an issue before I made my purchase. Supposedly the issue has to do with the process of encoding DVDs and may not be something Roxio can fix. Just a warning to those who (like me) can't use video without captions...

Must Have Tool

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2007

We put off buying this for our Macs for 2 years. Now we are kicking ourselves. The first three uses - archiving, making Music DVDs (a strong challenge to using Apple TV for showing your music on the big tube), and making photo discs for the relatives -- all worked like a charm.
You're going to like this product a lot better on Intel Apples than on G4 Power Books, but we are pleased on both, and we like the interface.
Buy the boxed version and get the book - looking up how-to in the manual is much faster than scanning the electronic version for help.
We hardly ever say that any product is a 5.

Great so far

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2007

I might have given this five stars, but haven't had time to test all its components. The primary feature I bought it for -- TiVoToGo for Mac -- works as promised, though. It does what it's supposed to do (and, I imagine, a lot simpler than TiVo's Windows version), although don't expect to transfer a movie to to DVD in an hour. For me to move a two-hour movie to my Mac took about two hours itself, and burning it to a DVD took three to four hours. (But then, I only have an 800 Mhz Power Mac G4, not exactly a speed demon in this day and age.) Once it finished, however, the final product was as good as could be expected for a bad print of a 1942 film recorded off of cable. I was skeptical, but the DVD played fine (and with no loss of quality) in my 6-year-old Sony DVD player. In other words, it looked just as good as it would have looked viewing it from TiVo's hard drive -- only now it doesn't take up precious drive space.

Oversold Expectations

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2008

Verified Purchase

Toast isn't the Mac equivalent of Roxio's Windows programs. All I wanted to do was burn copies of DVDs, and it constantly balks, hangs up, claims disks are damaged, etc. - - with discs that are NOT copy protected, run fine on either Windows computers, or DVD players.
To add insult to injury, literally within hours of purchasing Toast 8, they released Toast 9 - - and the best offer they would make (NOT a free upgrade!) was a modest discount on 9.
