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

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.

I used Toast from the very beginning (more than 25 years). It was the best Mac software for burning CDs and later DVDs. However, last two versions (18 and19) became unusable: plenty of small annoying bugs plus huge payments for each update. These updates could not be easily installed, instead complicated procedures had to be invoked. Recently I bought new MacBook Air and transferred all software packages w/o any problems - that is with an exception of Toast. Tech support wanted to see remotely contents of my drive... I gave up - Apple software allows for easy data disks creation while nobody copies or creates DVDs anymore. Do not buy unless you want to waste your money and time.

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.

Took me 3 weeks to install a working copy. It is very unstable, The old version was much better.

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.

able to burn Blueray

Launches, stays there for 5 seconds, then quits. Dont buy. Currently trying to get my money back, little success.

Spent hours trying to burn a simple blu-ray. On attempt number 16. I have tried everything. Shouldnt be this difficult. No feedback on what is going on behind the scenes during burn. The upgrade is supposed to be compatible with OSX Big Sur. Still does not work. I miss the days of the reliability and flexibility of Adobe Encore. Tech support is non-existent.

Ive had the software for about a month and it really does remind me of the old toast programs. easy peasy. nice!

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.
