Review by K. Koonce

I have been trying for six months to burn Blu-ray DVDs with the most recent version of Toast. My current burn has taken three days, I have had to start over 3 times because it stops encoding. I am running the newest version of Toast on a brand new iMac, so there is no problem with lack of memory or processing speed. The Toast program is just junk.

UPDATE: I recently had to make CD copies of a private music performance. Toast took 45 minutes PER CD. I had to burn 100. I switched to iTunes, which copied the same CDs in 5 minutes. If possible, I’d like to give this program ¹⁄₂ star – and that would be generous because I can’t think of anything positive to say about it.

UPDATE MARCH 2014: Roxio just updated the software. Hard to believe, but it is now WORSE! Creating video compilations does not work at all. Roxio Media Player is gone. I have had 12… yes TWELVE… crashes of the program in the past 24 hours.

Looking for another brand of software. Roxio is treating Mac users the same way Intuit does with Quicken: they don’t care.
