BIG TIME B.E.W.A.R.E. -- all versions of Toast are now managed by Corel / Roxio. Toast unfortunately has been deprecated by these folks to the point where it's a shill. They'll sell it to you with a 30 day money back, it will crash in Big Sur, they will extremely politely exchange tech support emails with you during that period, then deny a refund after the 30 day period. They are polite about it, though. Just say'in.
Update 2.4.3 fixed the problem of video lagging behind soundtrack (which made Toast completely useless) BUT it also removed the Shrink To Fit option. Previously I could get round the problem of "too big to fit on a DVD disc" by using Toast to make an image file instead and then using Toast to copy that file to disc, whereupon the Shrink To Fit option would automatically compress to DVD size, Not any more!
Will be another update to correct this one?
It's apparently impossible to buy a version 2.4. The Mac App Store only has version 2.3. I click "Support" on the MAS, and it takes me to Roxio, not Corel. I just chatted with Roxio, and they claim this is not their product. So, no one owns this thing it would seem. Buyer beware!
I can't even find this on their site, although it's in the App Store. I've tried finding this information but am having trouble. If anyone can help, please:
1) Is this 64 bit? I don't want to upgrade to Mojave in the near future only to discover that I made a $20 purchase that'll last me only a few months.
2) Can this shrink a video_ts folder to fit a disc? My discs are the 4 GB variety, and most of my video_ts folders are in the 8 GB range. I used to use DVD2One to shrink those down, but DVD2One is only 32 bit and will soon be obsolete. I seem to recall that earlier versions of the full Toast program did shrink larger folders. But I don't know if this specific application has that same feature.
Note that I'm not burning blu-ray or high def or anything. Just the old fashioned DVDs.
Thanks!
This may be a one trick pony. I only asked it to do one trick, namely burn a Video_TS file to a DVD that would play in a stand alone DVD player, which it did! No other software I tried would do it and trust me, I tried a LOT of them. Maybe it was because the file was ripped from an older, non-protected DVD or maybe there was some other reason. Whatever. But I was just about ready to give up when I tried this, and very pleased that it worked.
