But Roxio tends not to have very attractive purchasing options once you skip a version number, so I knew that if I ever decided I needed to upgrade my copy of Toast, I would have to pay something close to the full price anyway-and now for that price I could get the “Pro” version.

I didn’t really need to upgrade my existing copy of Toast (Toast 8 Titanium, purchased in early 2007), which was still working fine and meeting my needs. The special price meant that it was the same price as Toast 10 without the “Pro” part, i.e. It is also relatively easy to use, even without referring to the integrated tutorials.A few weeks ago, I got a promotional e-mail from Roxio inviting me to purchase the latest version of its flagship CD/DVD recording software for Mac OS X, Toast 10 Titanium Pro, for a special price of $100. While it's quite expensive, it provides a good amount of new features that are not natively built into Mac OS X. Toast Titanium for Mac is one of the most feature-rich CD/DVD/Blu-Ray-writing applications available. Large installer: If you plan to get this application online, be sure that you have a fast connection - the installer is a whopping 380.96MB file. That includes sharing videos online, VideoBoost for faster H.264 codec conversion, and support for multiple disc burners. More than what your Mac offers: Getting Toast Titanium for $99.99 - or significantly less, for those upgrading from a previous version - is justified, because this application offers a good number of features not available on a Mac.

In-app updates: Updates are handled in the same way an antivirus software updates its database, which means you don't have to download a humongous new installer.

The interface is divided into Tutorials, Data, Audio, Video, Copy, and Convert tabs, and you can hop quickly between tabs and use the different functions without delay.īuilt-in tutorials: If you don't find the interface easy enough to learn, you'll be glad to know that the app comes with integrated video tutorials, which show you how to do file conversions, data backup, video sharing, video editing, and related tasks. Snappy operation: Toast Titanium for Mac proves to be speedy. It's a powerful - albeit expensive - application. More than just a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray-burning application, Toast Titanium for Mac includes functions like online media capture, media format conversion, and the ability to directly share your videos on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Vimeo.
