Roxio Toast 16 Titanium For Mac

As a Roxio Toast Titanium 10 user, I'd say if you already have 10, there's no need to upgrade to 11. I did it, also bought the Blu Ray / High Definition plug-in from Roxio's website (very bad thing for them, it looks extremely unprofessional that they somehow 'force' the buyer to get the plug-in if (s)he wants to burn BD / HD). I don't think it would've been a major investment (or financial loss) for Roxio to include the plug-in in the software and leave it at the price it's already got (and it's not cheap!). Most software that the package comes bundled with doesn't do much, if you really wanna take advantage of it all, you would have to buy the Pro version.

Roxio Toast 16 Titanium Mac Review

Roxio

For what it does, it's still expensive, and I bought it from the Amazon, where it's the cheapest, at least at the time of writing. If you go to Apple Store or get it from the Roxio website, you're gonna pay even more. Want some BD / HD burning? Then add some 15 quid out of your pocket, as it's Roxio's way of doing business. For the good part - stable software so far, never crashed, it IS compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8), which I'm using.

So far I've only burned 12 DVDs with it, the DVD drive that my Macbook comes with is a Matshita (which is, in fact, Panasonic, so it's a high quality device), I burned 6 DVDs at x4 speed and the other 6 at x8, no errors on either side. One curious fact, worth mentioning, I think is that with Roxio TT 11, the actual burning speed is a little bit slower than the one selected by the user. With version 10, I selected x4 for DVD burning, and it was usually working at x5 or even x6.

With 11, I selected x4 and it's burning at x3, in the best case. It took longer to burn the same amount of data with version 11 than it previously took with 10. As for the interface, well, design is a highly subjective thing, but I think 11 looks FAR better than 10, Roxio really did a very good job here, redoing the whole stuff.

Imo, it's also easier to use and the options / selections are arranged more logically. As a previous 9 & 10 versions user (which were very stable and reliable) I hope 11 is gonna be the same. Purchased Roxio Toast Titanium 11(Mac) Jan 2018, worked OK till I updated my OS on my macbook to High Sierra 10.13.4 which now runs on 64bit from the previous 32bit making Toast Titanium 11 incompatable, I contacted Corel who suggested I upgrade to Toast Titanium 16 at a cost of around £68.00. Not a cheap alternative having paid £49.99 already for toast 11. PS,I am not giving this a single star for the product, works fine on the old firmware, but the new OS High Sierra has consigined it to the trash bin.

Not a cheap alternative having paid £49.99 already for toast 11. PS,I am not giving this a single star for the product, works fine on the old firmware, but the new OS High Sierra has consigined it to the trash bin. I first began using Toast many years ago, on a 1GB PPC Mac. When I moved from PPC to Intel Mac I was faced with the potential massive expense of new software and tried to minimise this by using Freeware and Open Source applications wherever I could, of which there are many for Mac (although I accept PC users have a bigger selection!). I tried several disc burning applications, most of which were adequate - but somehow I usually found myself booting up the aging eMac just so I could use Toast. Eventually I had to accept that I needed to purchase a version that would run on my Mac Mini and Lion that wouldn't bankrupt me - this was it.

I am happy with it and had no installation problems. A particular bonus is the Mac to TiVo feature with which I haven't yet got to grips, but I have plans on THAT score, too! All in all, a very happy experience - it is lovely when you can find software that suits you. I bought this specifically to burn BluRays (of original, not pirated material) The product description says this: Burn Toast 11 is the easiest and fastest way to burn your music, video, photo and data files on to CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc. Span large projects across multiple discs. Archive up to 50 GB on high capacity Blu-ray Discs. New: Burn or copy discs using multiple drivers at the same time Improved: Back up an entire camera of HD video to disc in one click BUT BEWARE: In order to burn HD or BluRay, you need to purchase an additional plugin which is £15 GBP.

This should be stated clearly in the description and I will be complaining to Roxio about this. Amazon service and delivery was exceptional as usual, hence the 3 stars. I’m a bit disappointed, many features advertised are demo and you have to pay extra. Video encoding doesn’t work to well (jaggy video), although I’ve tried with different media. Tried recording some few blu-ray discs (tried two external drives – Plextor and an LG drive), and data wasn’t always accessible. If you want to record a lightscribe CD, you have to upgrade the software that came with it, because it doesn’t let you add your own pictures.

CD and DVD recording with data, goes well without issues.
