I have used Toast software for years for my disc burning needs. I have used it to convert EyeTV recordings, copy CDs & DVDs (noncopyrighted of course!) and convert video files. I have a love/hate relationship with this software. It will work flawlessly for 20 discs and then the next 5 will be coasters. I have tried various brands of media and I see the same problem with all of them. Thank goodness the cost of blanks has come way down over the years.

The interface of Toast 12 looks nearly identical to Toast 11. I did not notice any performance increases in 12 over 11. The only really new feature added is Live Screen Capture. It allows you to record directly from your screen and add voiceover. You can then share the recording as a video. It works well, but products like ScreenFlow have a ton more features and allow for more editing capabilities.

Needless to say, it does do what it claims to do allows you to capture, copy, convert & burn. It is still one of the software programs I will have on my Mac. If you have Toast 11, it really isn’t worth the cost to get Live Screen Capture.
