You can also have Toast publish directly to online services and even tweet the link to the video-I added a 720p video shot with my iPhone into Toast under the Convert heading, and uploaded it directly to my Vimeo account. Toast 11 expands its video format support, adding presets for the iPhone 4, Android phones, Windows Media Video, DivX Plus HD, and MKV, as well as Internet-specific presets for YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and F4V Flash video. With Toast 11, I haven’t seen any such problems and have been burning data DVDs for weeks with only the rare failure along the way. You might even notice that Toast icon now has a disc and an iPhone coming out the toaster rather than two discs-a nod to the waning importance of physical media for many users these days.īut speaking of physical media, I still burn data DVD backups (mostly of concerts in lossless audio formats as archives) and with Toast 10, it took until the last version-10.0.8-before I could reliably burn those DVDs without every third one failing during the writing process. And you can now view the Media Browser as a separate floating palette (as before) or integrated into the main UI. You can choose a burner and its settings, as well as the number of copies you want to burn, directly from the main window. The big red button in the lower right corner has a black ring around it and is labeled with the word Burn, Copy, or Convert (depending on the type of project you’ve created) instead of, well, just being a big red button. The Assistant window can show you common projects for a category, or all the available options.Īnd there are other small but useful changes. There’s also a new Assistant window that can show you common projects for each category, along with descriptions and big icons, or an Advanced view that lists all the available options. Whether you’re new to Toast or have been using it for years, you’ll probably appreciate the refinements to some often perplexing interface choices of the past. And instead of being smashed into one corner of the UI, the categories are displayed as tabs that run across the width of the content window. Now, you can clearly see the names of all the categories. Activities are still grouped into the same five categories (Data, Audio, Video, Copy, and Convert), but previously they were listed by icon only until you clicked on one. The new UI makes it easier to choose a category, incorporates the Media Browser, and adds useful burning settings to the main window.Įven after that, though, there are general improvements to how you find your way around the software. To start with, there’s now a Tutorials section that includes screencast videos (and links to step-by-step PDFs) walking you through several common tasks. New user interfaceĪlthough Toast has always had a lot of power, it wasn’t always easy to figure out how to make everything work. (Roxio said it wanted to make sure this first use of Sparkle-powered updating was rock solid, and may tweak the behavior in the feature.) For the other apps, such as Spin Doctor, updating works as you’d expect. Important Note: This version only supports OS X 10.7 and later.Although the update process is vastly improved, with the main Toast application, the update still spawns the Toast Setup Assistant and makes you choose which disc to install on and then walks through the install process as if you were starting from scratch.
