At the end of last week, we were invited to follow a demo of Toast 9, one of the historical applications for the Mac.
The new version brings several features, as well as an improved interface:
- Record high-definition content from high-definition (HD) camcorders and favorite HD programming from TiVo® DVRs and Elgato’s EyeTV devices to Blu-ray Disc (BD).
- Burn HD video and slide shows on standard DVDs
- Streamer, a new application of the suite, allows users to stream video content stored on their home Mac® to a Wi-Fi connected iPhone® or iPod® Touch or any Internet connected Mac or PC
- capture streaming audio for recording Internet radio
- captured music tracks to be automatically tagged with song titles, artist or other related information
- …
As with Toast 8 already, one can access iLife 08 and Aperture libraries directly from Toast 9's Media Browser. It also provides tools to create and edit personalized disc artwork, as well as support for LightScribe and Labelflash™ drives and media to allow users to burn artwork and labels directly to discs.
Toast 9 Titanium is available directly from Roxio at www.roxio.com for 99.99USD. The High Definition/Blu-ray Disc (HD/BD) plug-in, which is needed to author BD video is sold separately for USD19.99, BUT is available for free if you purchase Toast 9 online at http://www.roxio.com through April 13, 2008.
