Works well. I has crashed a couple of times, but it may be that I was trying to do too much.

I have used previous versions of Toast and been pleased with the results.
But this version really makes producing a dvd a snap and the menus it creates have a really professional look. I don't have a BluRay recorder, but this version not only works with dual layer, it will compress down automatically to fit onto a single layer.

You know what irks me about this product? When it is converting the export progress box has an advertisement down the bottom right ("Got elgato turbo.264?"). As I work and my mouse moves over it, an ad keeps popping up. Now if I had not paid good money for this (ad supported) I wouldn't mind, but I find this type of cross-promotion highly offensive. I don't pay for advertisements and this will definitely be my last purchase from this company!

Great product though the customer support has a lot to be desired. Toast 9 introduces a few new enhancements but the manual, online help, and Roxio dont provide more than a paragraph of explanation.

I bought this mainly to record and edit TiVo shows but it contains other very useful tools as well. I especially like the feature that allows you to insert a damaged/scratched CD/DVD and it will attempted to recover the data. It works great. I have a CD of backed-up family pictures (they have been deleted from the hard drive) that was very scratched and would work on anything, but this program was able to recover them. It's worth the money.
