Roxio Toast 19 Pro | CD, DVD & Blu-Ray Burner for Mac | Disc Burning, File Conversion, Multimedia Editing Suite [Mac Disc] [Old Version]

I have been a longtime user of Toast Pro and it has never let me down. I dont burn as many CD/DVDs as I once did, but it has many features (i.e. rip to digital) that I still use and need. Still agreat product.

Toast used to be great until Roxio were bought out by Corel. Ive successfully written a couple DVDs but if your trying to write a Blu-ray™ disc forget it. Ive used Toast for years but when upgrading from version 17 to 19 so I could author Blu-ray™ discs, Ive received nothing but errors. Quite frustrated with the lack of Blu-ray™ authoring software out there for Mac. Ive tried reaching out to customer support but the best they could do is tell me to reinstall the software which didnt solve a thing. Toast used to be my go to but it seems that after being acquired by Corel, this slice of Toast has been burnt.

Had to update to Mojave which meant a new disc burning update...the old version worked fine...so far, this one is glitchy and has issues. Having to burn in the legacy or classic mode since nothing works properly on the updated side. Will continue to work with it and it may get better ?

I have used Toast for over ten years and have been delighted with the resulting blu-ray disks. The current Titanium Toast 19 Pro creates blue-rays that are fuzzy, shaky and totally unacceptable. They look like old VHS videos from 20 years ago. The old Toasts were perfect. This new version with all the bells and whistles is worthless.

I purchased Toast Pro 19 from Corel in January. I spent almost an entire month trying to get help with adding chapter markers to a video project I had created with Final Cut Pro X. Last year I went through the same issue with Toast 18 and was told I would have to wait for the new version for the feature to work. Unfortunately, it doesnt. What is worse, the customer support was borderline useless. I had countless exchanges where a suggestion would be made, I would try it, give detailed feedback on the negative result, and--instead of responding to what I had submitted--I would just get more suggestions--none of which worked. Finally, I had to turn to Apples technical support to find out how I could just burn a blu ray disc with chapter markers from their application. The outcome is not all that elegant but it does work. Frankly, I think that the Toast project should not be sold if its advertised features do not work. This is the worst experience I have ever had with so-called technical support. There may be some functionality that would meet the needs of some people. But, if you are expecting all of the functionality claims to be met, you may be disappointed. This certainly the case for adding chapter markers. It is really too bad that Apple discontinued its iDVD application. It was far better than what Toast claims it does and actually does not.

Easy to convert video to the correct format to burn to DVD or what ever other format the you desire. Will convert video to whatever size you desire from low resolution for posting to the web to BluRay.

Absolute trash! Not nearly as good as previous Mac versions. Older versions were intuitively obvious and user friendly. This version (and version 20) has glitzy graphics but wont do the things that the older versions did. Help is obscure and NOT helpful. Would return this but its too late. Cant even burn a Mac-only data CD. Not sure what the tekkies were thinking. I began programming in machine language in 1959 and have modeled nuclear systems and business systems but find this impenetrable. Its important to make software user friendly. We certainly have enough processing power and storage to make it easy. The Toast programmers need to take a couple of marketing and customer psychology courses and then try again. Or, hire the old programmers who developed the original versions.

Customer Support is deplorable and Tech Support is even worse. Best advice... avoid this like the plague.

Change of interface from previous versions really make no sense. Seems as though they made changes just for a new look with no concern for functionality. You can create an .sd2f file and save as a disc image, but it cannot be mounted to the desktop. If youre looking to primarily burn discs (CD or DVD), there are many better options.

terrible last - not worth it my mistake I did not return it
