#ROXIO TOAST REVIEW SOFTWARE#
This is thanks to an exclusive agreement Roxio has secured with TiVo so it would seem unlikely that you will be able to do this with any other software on the platform soon. Such files can also be exported via Toast for iPods and Sony PlayStation Portables (PSP) as well.
Perhaps most striking is the new TiVoToGo feature: with Toast 8 you can now transfer television programs recorded in TiVo format to your Mac – either to watch on its screen and/or burn onto DVD (or CD) for later use on a dedicated standalone player. Changes in Toast 8 Titanium fall into five areas: Photo/video, Music/audio, Burning/copying, Files, and User Interface. The list of new features, enhancements and improvements for Toast 8 Titanium is long and impressive, making this a significant step forward for Toast and one which all serious users of audio and video media who want to preserve such data on CD and DVD should also take. This product is thoroughly recommended on one or more of three counts: reliability, ease of use and elegance enhanced and new functionality and features not found anywhere else.
Under most circumstances, for many types of users, there will be. But with basic burning functionality built into OS X, there have to be compelling reasons for paying nearly $100 ($80 for an upgrade).
#ROXIO TOAST REVIEW INSTALL#
Unless you skipped last year’s 64-bit compatibility upgrade and plan to install macOS Catalina soon, save your money and see what the next upgrade brings.The Toast series of products from Roxio, now a division of Sonic Solutions, has long been the market leader for managing and burning digital media. While keeping the disc burning torch lit for so long after Apple ejected optical drives from the Mac is admirable, we can’t help but feel Roxio Toast 18 is a cash grab release. (Presumably this will be addressed in a future update.) Bottom line That means disc images won’t open within Toast 17 or 18 when running macOS Catalina, but the situation isn’t as dire as it sounds, since they can still be mounted from the Finder for the time being. The user interface isn’t particularly intuitive and worse yet, HEIF images aren’t supported, so recent iPhone images can’t be imported without first saving as JPEG files.Īlthough the core Toast Titanium app is 64-bit, the built-in ToastImageMounter component remains 32-bit at this writing. The app is super basic-import an existing photo, then step through a variety of different screens where you add different looks and styles, eventually transforming each picture into a work of art.
Included in both versions of Toast 18, Akrilic feels more than a little like an aborted smartphone app ported to macOS. The new kid on the block, Roxio Akrilic, transforms photos into art, but that’s nowhere near enough to justify a paid upgrade to Toast 18. It’s a curious addition, because at first glance the software appears to duplicate functionality found elsewhere in the bundle-specifically Painter Essentials, owned by parent company Corel.

Sadly, Roxio has chosen to remove excellent slideshow app Boinx FotoMagico from the Toast 18 Pro lineup in favor of a new digital art tool called Akrilic.
