I bought this to burn some DVDs from old DV tapes. I was disappointed at first because it wouldn’t handle the wmv files that I converted to MPEG-4 files with iSkysoft Converter. Each time I tried the software would quit. I dealt with Corel’s Customer Support and that person confirmed 2.3 wouldn’t do that. He suggested I upgrade to version 15 for about $50. Instead I converted my wmv files to MPEG-2 files, which doubles the size of the files, and then Toast was able to burn DVDs to be played on a BlueRay player.I like how simple the screens are. There really aren’t a lot of choices to make. So after discovering which type of files it could handle, it worked fine.

Its 2016 but some of my older family members still dont know how to use digital media. ( Not uncommon right . ) So I needed this program to make a few dvd’s of my daughters dance recital to send as christmas gifts for some of the older folks in our family that were not able to see her. Program was quick and easy. Just add the files,( mpeg4 was my format of choice ), select a menu template and hit burn. Of course there are more options available for those who are a bit more fancy than that but that was all i needed. Would recommend this program for a novice as it was very simple to use.

I am really happy to find a software that burns Blu Ray and any other type of disc. This software works just as it says. I'm dissapointed that Apple hasn’t made a good BD burning software that allows you to create professional menus. Toast has been a great fall back for what Apple is missing. I hope to see one day that toast creates a software similar to what Apples iDVD use to be. I’d hope that toast keeps its simple to use format but just adds some more detailed menu creating if we so choose to use it. Love it all in all.

Update: Since I got my new Mac, this takes 1/100th the time it used to take to burn a disc. I use this to burn all my videos to disc, since Apple somehow didn't think that was a necessary need for computer owners somehow. ??????? grumble.But this software has been terrific. It would be nice if the computer didn't shut down while processing, because some videos take a while, but I'd highly recommend this software. And it's really easy to use by the way if you're outputting from iMovie. Just share to file and then pull it into Toast.
