The primary feature I bought it for -- TiVoToGo for Mac -- works as promised, though. It does what it's supposed to do (and, I imagine, a lot simpler than TiVo's Windows version), although don't expect to transfer a movie to to DVD in an hour. For me to move a two-hour movie to my Mac took about two hours itself, and burning it to a DVD took three to four hours. (But then, I only have an 800 Mhz Power Mac G4, not exactly a speed demon in this day and age.) Once it finished, however, the final product was as good as could be expected for a bad print of a 1942 film recorded off of cable. I was skeptical, but the DVD played fine (and with no loss of quality) in my 6-year-old Sony DVD player. In other words, it looked just as good as it would have looked viewing it from TiVo's hard drive -- only now it doesn't take up precious drive space. 4 of 5 customers found the following review helpful: Toast stays on top, 2007-02-13 I have always found Toast to be the method of choice for burning discs, either CD or DVD. It provides fine control with ease of use in the finest MacOS tradition. This edition adds new refinements, more choices, more file types, and it even gets out to the way while it is busy. I use Toast many times a day, and it is never a fight, just a drop in a disc and some files, a few clicks, two "pings", and you're done. DVDs, VideoCDs, MP3 disks, CDs, whatever. It just works! 6 of 9 customers found the following review helpful: Fantastic, 2007-02-12 Exactly what is advertised and more. This program allows the creation of all types of DVDs and CDs with ease, it works seemlessly with OS X and is a joy to use. 10 of 10 customers found the following review helpful: Great Program and TiVo-To-Go an unexpected +, 2007-02-06 I just up-graded from Toast 7 Titianium. As expected Toast works great and has some very nice new features (disk spanning, iPod, PSP support). I didn't even realize until I installed that it included TiVo To Go. I did the install on my MacBookPro C2D. Opened the program, typed in my TiVo media code, and was able to see both of my TiVo s right there om my desktop! Wow - transfer was easy - just a click. It just works. So, I transfered my TiVo copy of the most recent 24 to my laptop, then used Toast to compress for an iPod. Except for taking some time for the transfer and codec, could not be easier. Cheers - Jim 89 of 91 customers found the following review helpful: Still the very best, 2007-02-03 Toast has always been the best burning software on the Mac and this version is no exception. I had skipped over version 7 and wasn't sure about getting version 8 since I had the impression that much of what Toast does is already built into the Mac. Boy was I wrong. What comes with the OS, iTunes and iDVD barely scratches what Toast 8 can do. There's a reason why people continue to recommend this as a must have app on the Mac - it's gone way beyond burning of CDs and DVDs. Likes: * Data Spanning - a must have for EVERYONE - if you have files that are too big to fit onto a CD or a DVD (and it's really pretty easy to have this now... think video files or your iTunes library) Toast splits them and burns a piece onto every disc.... and you can take those discs to any Mac or PC to use them. * Burn Catalog - this is cool - it keeps track of the contents of your discs - so you can see what's on them - even when the discs aren't in the computer anymore. I love this one... * Music DVD - puts 1000 songs on a regular DVD so you can play it in your home theater system and see menus and album info while the song is playing. * Photo Disc - my wife loves this one... makes great looking photo disc slideshows to send to PC users * EyeTV - I use EyeTV to get TV shows onto the Mac - and this is THE ONLY way to burn DVDs of your recorded show - and it's fast. * DIVX - I like to download DiVX files but iDVD can't turn them into DVDs - but this Toast can * DVD copying - Roxio put all of the other product Popcorn into Toast - so if you want to copy DVDs or convert DVDs for iPod... don't get Popcorn - get this. * Labeler - I like to make case inserts of the DVDs I burn and this labeler in Toast is really top notch. * Printed manual - YES you read this right, it comes with a printed user guide... how cool is that?! Dislikes: * New look - I'm not such a huge fan of the "new and improved" UI... I was used to the old one in Toast 6 and it will take some time to get used to the new... I guess that the price you pay for progress. Overall I'm really happy with this purchase. There aren't too many other apps you need to use the Mac, but this is one of them I think. If you've recently switched from a PC to the Mac and you're looking for a burning program - this is the one to get.
