If Corel would allow custom menu import into Classic Mode, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, OKAY! I will continue to learn about the "new mode" when I need custom menus, otherwise I'll keep using "Classic Mode" where I can have more control. It seems to me that Corel must have actually hired someone to work on Toast that knows something about creating video discs because the program seems much smoother in it's operation than any other version since Corel destroyed Toast after they bought Roxio. About Time it got fixed!ġ- Can't create custom menus in Classic Mode where we can better control the burning processĢ- When you load a video, the filesize isn't showing the file's actual size based on the bit rate and there's no control over the bit rate.ģ- It seems in "New Mode" it wants to encode everything and it took 21 minutes to burn a 3.8GB file to a toast disc image

This looks like a great addition to the software and it has very good editing capabilities from what I've seen so far.Ģ- Looks like Corel fixed the problem in Classic Mode where you clicked on Edit one of the video's and it would NOT display the video so you could accurately set beginning/end of the clip.

Just like the rest of Toast, the Roxio Streamer feature is very simple to set and use.Īdditional bundled software (together with the Streamer software) includes automatic back up software Get backup RE, CD Spin Doctor (for digitising old vinyl records), DiscCatalogMaker RE, TiVo Transfer and Disc Cover 2 RE for creating and printing labels onto compatible CDs and DVDs, plus you also get Toast Video Player thrown in too.Īdd in the more usual features such as disc copy functionality and simple data burning for back-up purposes for example plus cross-platform photo disk creation, using full-resolution images and with fully featured slideshow creation, all makes Toast 9 Titanium pretty much a must-have software item for all Mac users.1- Creating custom menus. A separate – floating – media browser allows easy searching and inclusion of your media to be burned be it video, audio or still image content for inclusion in a burning task.Īnd even funkier is the new Roxio Streamer feature that can stream video from your Mac over a Wi-Fi network to another suitably connected Mac or iPhone.

Duplication of unprotected DVDs you own is possible now to boot, so you can easily back-up old iMovie projects that you might have littering your hard drive or rip unprotected DVDs for playback on a PSP or iPhone. You get an easy visual confirmation across the bottom of Toast’s window for how much room (or not) you have left on a disk you’ve got inserted to burn. In use Toast is very user-friendly since the interface provides a large content area, add or subtract buttons for, adding or subtracting content from, say, your hard disk you want to burn by clicking Toast’s signature big red button. However a downside to this is you can only burn clips like this of around 20-minutes since that’s all you can fit on a standard DVD. If you have unknown audio files you can automatically tag them using their audio “fingerprint” and you now get support for recording internet audio streams as well.Īlthough Macs don’t currently have Blu-ray disc burning hardware, Roxio are anticipating its introduction in to future models and that aforementioned additional £14.99 Blu-ray plug-in lets Toast 9 Titanium burn DVDs in a format suitable for playback through a Blu-ray player.

Not so though and some of the other new features on offer include the ability to pause and restart a burning job, should you need to free up some processor power during a big burn and you also get disc burning support for streaming video to your iPhone.ĭuring data burning during, say, a large backup session, data can now be split (or spanned) across multiple discs without breaking it up. (Pocket-lint) - The ninth incarnation of Toast brings the renowned £70 Mac burning software into the high definition era with support for Blu-ray burning (though disappointingly only via an optional plug-in for another £14.99) and even allows burning of "normal" DVDs in a Blu-ray format.īut Toast 9 Titanium is a remarkable piece of software because despite the remarkable feature set, the interface is so easy to use that Toast seems, well, so simple that it cannot do the things it can.
