Software Reviews of Roxio Toast 8 Titanium (Mac) [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Slow and buggy makes me crazy
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had Toast for about a month now and all I can think about is the HOURS I've wasted trying to get it to work. This was supposed to make my life easy. I bought it so that I could transfer stuff from my TiVo to DVD and to my iPhone. So far I have been able to do the latter with moderate success... it takes a long time and the quality isn't particularly good. As for the former, I have tried various fixes and options, but it still takes over 2 hours to burn a 90 minute movie, and that's after the hour it takes to download it from TiVo. And I've burned 3 disks exactly the same, but only 1 of them actually worked.
Now, of course, they are releasing version 9... so I'm doubly pissed since I just bought 8 last month. I hope the new version is better, faster and reliable. I'll keep an eye on reviews before I make the leap.
Customer Review: Audio Video Sync Problems
Summary: 1 Stars
Roxio marketed this product for Mac users who want to transfer Tivo shows to DVD. Well, it worked for me for about two months until the Tivo Fall Service Update , now every time I burn a DVD from a TivoTransfer I get terrible out of sync audio and video.
This sync issue is a problem that began in October '07 AND many users experience this problem. Do a web search for " TiVo Fall 2007 Update Apparently Breaks TivoToGo/Toast on the Mac". As of Early February '08 Roxio has not posted a solution or update to fix the sync issue.
I contacted Roxio asking for a refund once I realized this is a widespread issue - however their response was I was beyond their 30 day refund period.
Customer Review: Toast 8 Titanium works as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I have upgraded to Toast 8 Titanium from Toast 6 Titanium. I use Toast mostly for making multiple DVD copies and it has always worked very well in that respect. I have also used it for burning data CDs and DVDs, and it works well for those projects. I have no major complaints and feel that it is a useful part of my DVD burning capability.

Customer Review: Tivo To Go Does Not Work, save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
As with other responders, I have been suckered by the promise of a product that in no way delivers. The Tivo To Go function has audio-visual syncing problems. Roxio insists it is a small number of users that have the problem. Go ahead and buy this to see if you also get to join the ranks of "the small amount".Customer Review: Ummm Tastey!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased toast for the Tivo to go transfer capabitity. I have not used it too much yet for burning disks, but It is working great for transfers. I am able to re encode and transfer to my ipod touch. Is has saved me a great deal of money on TV episode, and gives me something to watch every day at lunch. Well worth the price if you have an iPod or iPhone.
