Roxio's Toast 11 offers improved import, iLife browsing, more

by Chris Ward (Mar 9th, 2011)

Everyone's favorite media toolkit, CD- DVD- and (heretical) Blu-Ray burner and breakfast food (apart from porridge) has turned the volume knob up to 11 with the latest version of Roxio's Toast. The update aims to allow you to take more or less any piece of media in any format and transform it ...

After iLife '11: Alternatives to iDVD and iWeb

by Michael Grothaus (Oct 28th, 2010)

Over the weekend TUAW is going to be featuring in-depth reviews of the new iLife '11 suite -- or at least the three apps that were updated. As most of you know by now, iWeb and iDVD didn't receive an update at all. In light of that, we've compiled a list of several alternatives to iDVD and iWeb ...

First Look: Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac

by Steven Sande (May 26th, 2009)

Those of us who are old enough to remember the VHS versus Betamax wars are also old enough to have a box of VHS cassettes stored somewhere, filled with memories of vacations, birthdays, and weddings. In the jump from the analog media of VHS to the digital world of DVD, many of those tapes were put ...

Roxio announces Toast 10 at MacWorld

by Mike Schramm (Jan 5th, 2009)

Toast is the granddaddy of CD burning apps nowadays, an act that itself has become relatively obsolete (between iPods, internet radios, FM tuners, and streaming services, do we even really need to put media on a physical format anymore?). Roxio isn't sitting back with their software, though: they've ...

Roxio releases Toast 9 with streaming

by Mat Lu (Mar 17th, 2008)

With their newly-updated Toast Titanium 9, it looks like Roxio is really embracing new ways of using media, moving beyond Toast's original disc-burning functionality. New features include AVCHD camcorder video conversion, support for creating Blu-ray and HD DVD discs (though why someone would want ...

Roxio releases Popcorn 3, adds TiVoToGo support

by Mat Lu (Aug 30th, 2007)

Roxio has released version 3 of their DVD and video conversion utility Popcorn. The biggest new feature is probably the "exclusive TiVoToGo support for the Mac" that lets you burn TiVo recorded shows to disc or convert them for playback on other devices. However, other improvements include the ...

Roxio to announce Crunch, a new video conversion app

by David Chartier (May 4th, 2007)

Looks like VisualHub and iSquint are going to have some competition on their hands, as Roxio on Monday will announce Crunch, their own entry into the software video conversion market. With computer-based video leaving the nest for devices like the Apple TV, the iPod and soon the iPhone, tools ...

Roxio says stand-alone TiVo To Go client a "possibility"

by David Chartier (Jan 10th, 2007)

I spoke with the folks at the Roxio booth here at Macworld Expo 2007 about that slight complaint many of us have over the much-anticipated new TiVo To Go client being bundled into Toast for the not-so-low price of $99. Obviously, if you're looking for the power of Toast and TiVo To Go, this is a ...

This just in: Roxio charging $99 for free software

by David Chartier (Jan 8th, 2007)

Michael posted that Roxio has released a new version of Toast, complete with a highly-anticipated bundled version of TiVoToGo for Mac OS X. While this is certainly a joyous day for those anxiously awaiting the ability to Macify their TiVo content, I can't help but have a severely bitter taste in ...

Roxio ships TiVo to Go for Mac

by Michael Rose (Jan 8th, 2007)

Engadget and Zatz Not Funny! are reporting that Roxio -- yes, Popcorn, Toast with Jam, that Roxio -- has partnered with TiVo to deliver the long-awaited TiVotoGo for Mac client, built in to Toast Titanium 8. All together, everyone: "Wha?!?" The new Toast will allow you to browse your TiVo content, ...

Popcorn 2 goes Universal

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Apr 12th, 2006)

Roxio announced Popcorn 2 is a Universal Binary now. Popcorn is a little app that'll supposedly move content around to your mobile stuff— a PSP, iPod, or "mobile phone." I couldn't get a list of supported phones, but I'm assuming it won't convert your movies to ASCII so they show up ...
