Toast 9 Titanium adds Blu-ray, remote streaming
Roxio has released Toast 9 Titanium, the latest version of its disc burning software for Macs. The new version brings with it a number of upgrades; among these is Blu-ray support, including the ability to copy both computer files and raw video across multiple discs; some compatible video sources include TiVos, EyeTVs and AVCHD camcorders. HD video can also be burned to standard DVDs. The HD/BD plug-in will eventually cost $20 extra, but it is temporarily free through April 13th.
Also new to the program is Streamer, a component which broadcasts video from a Mac to any Internet-connected Mac or PC, or iPhones and iPod touches within Wi-Fi range. In the reverse direction users can now capture stretches of Internet radio, and have tracks automatically tagged with artist, title and genre information. Toast 9 costs $80 online, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, with 600MB of install space and as much as 15GB of temporary room; TiVos must be Series 2 devices or better.
