Review by GameMaker

Way back when dvd burners were a new and exciting product, Toast was one of the essential programs for the mac. Now 20 years later, give or take, they are still around and kicking. Toast still offers the same easy-to-use interface for burning and creating dvd content. It also now offers some other related functionality. You can record screen activity, and you can also convert video to different formats. I was disappointed by the video converter, as it would not recognize an avi file that I tried to convert (and the iskysoft video converter handles this file fine). There’s also another interesting utility included, that helps you catalog the contents of disks or directory structures.

The bottom line for me is that Toast is still a great tool if you need to burn disks, and it will even do blu-ray disks now. The other utilities have some usefulness, but there are usually better ways to do what they do, or better tools to use.
