Then you need Toast, it’s as simple as that. For many years, Toast has been the go-to all-purpose CD, then DVD burning software on Macintosh. Back in the early days, you needed to buy a third party program to burn CDs, and Toast was the most powerful and reliable one. For years now, OSX has been shipping with built-in burner support, but if you want full control over your CD or DVD burning, Toast is still the way to go.nIt also offers extra features such as video conversion and menu creation, which lets you create a standard movie DVD complete with custom menus from a set of video files. Unfortunately, these advanced features can be hit or miss; I was never too successful using them, as conversion can take hours and hours, and the result is not always very good.nToast also comes bundled with a few useful programs: Disc Cover 3 RE lets you print CD and DVD labels, DiscCatalogMaker is an indexing program allowing you to keep track of your files across your DVD backups, Get Backup 2 RE (a backup app), Spin Doctor (an audio recording app), Tivo Transfer (copy files from your TiVo) and Mac2Tivo (stream videos from your Mac to your TiVo).

If you’re still burning CDs and DVDs, Toast is a worthwhile investment.
