5 stars (Roxio Toast 7 Titanium (MAC)) - This is a great product, has some nice new features like making a Music CD, CD-Text.
4 stars (much needed improvement) - After using Toast 5 & 6 for a while I received version 7 with great anticipation. Installation is as easy as it gets, and the interface (while hardly changed form v6) is intuitive. One of the best enhancements I've encountered so far is the use of hybrid discs. In the past, the only option was "Custom Hybrid", which didn't always work. This option still exists, but the new, simpler hybrid Mac/PC format (while giving slightly less custom options on the Mac side) is finally dead simple - choose the files you want and designate if they should be burned for Mac, PC or both by using checkboxes.
Other new features include improved DVD burning and backing up many files or one large file over several discs, while still being able to acess them one by one.
The price is not too bad and a $20 rebate is available for previous owners. I recommend it.
5 stars (For video-philes!) - Quite simply, there's no other single program out there that will do so much.
Here's just one example to add to those mentioned by other customers.
It's great to be able to combine movie titles from DVD backups( from saved TS folders on my harddrive ), multiple iMovie projects, DivX and original DV footage on one disc. Then, I saved the whole as an oversized disc image and use DVD compression to fit it onto a single DVD! The program offers a choice of several menu themes that are artistic and easy to navigate.
Then, I used the disc spanning feature to backup some (huge!) DV source files to multiple DVDs.
