 It does what I need, 2007-02-02
Toast 8, just does what I need. I bought Toast because I needed support for a new DVD burner that neither the basic OS (10.4) nor my slightly old version of iDVD would support. It offers easy to understand interface that I've come to expect from a first class Mac app (and have found lacking in Disk Copy). Toast burns my dual layer DVDs just fine. It burns everything else I've thrown at it just fine as well. It also solved a problem that I had just accepted before. When making backups for remote storage, it seamlessly spans multiple CDs and DVDs. It tells me how many disks I'm going to need before I get started. It guides me through the entire process.
One of the bundled apps that I didn't expect to use is Deja Vu, the backup/mirroring/etc. Utility. I have several shareware backup utilities and was reasonably happy with them. I've found however, that they cannot compare with Deja Vu for flexibility, power and ease of use. It has become the new backup standard at my house.
There is a ton of other capabilities in this package that I just haven't gotten to use yet but I an extremely pleased with this package and would not hesitate to recommend it to other users.

 NO customer service, 2007-01-27
The Toast CD is defective. Once on my hard drive, Toast will not boot. There is no phone number for customer support, and emails and on line inquiries have been ignored.
A total wast of money for a worthless disc.

 TivoToGo problem, 2007-01-27
I agree that the program is overall a nice upgrade, but if you check the forums on Roxio and Tivo, you'll find that at the moment (Tivo is supposedly working on a fix) there are problems with transfers of programs from the Tivo to your Mac: Basically, if the Tivo has to change channels in order to record your show, and it ends up recording that channel change right before your show starts, TivoToGo (the Toast 8 program that handles this stuff) sees the channel change as something like an "end of file" and thus only transfers those first couple of seconds BEFORE the channel change, not your show. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. If you experience this problem, a work around is to change the channel manually just before your show starts.

Toast 8, 2007-01-25
I recently encountered a problem with the purchase of Toast 8 Titanium and have had problems with Roxio in the past. Well, things appear to be changing. I had the pleasure of dealing with a caring Roxio employee who took care of my problem in an efficient, effective and extremely friendly manner. After some discussion with this person, I came away with the feeling that things are changing for the better. My experience could not have been better.
I still think that Toast is one of the best pieces of software ever written for Macintosh. I especially like the new feature in version 8, the ability to create CDs of photos that one can give to friends and family. The recipient can play a slideshow on either PC or Mac with no need for any additional software, not even Toast. This feature, alone, is worth the upgrade to me. A great piece of software, and a company that looks to me like it will be providing first rate customer service.

 ok but not great..., 2007-01-24
I have been using toast 7 and was hoping toast 8 would offer more for the upgrade price than it does....
The divx encoder is still not the latest version that support multi-core processors - major bummer
If your a new user then toast is by all means worth it... but if your an upgrader welllllll toast 7 is just fine..... this should have been a 15 dollar upgrade because its just not that much more powerful.... sorry Roxio but these high upgrade charges should mean more product.
