Since you need a fast connection to transfer all the data to the other computer, however, the feature makes sense only on a wired Ethernet network.Roxio Toast is an optical disc authoring and media conversion software application for Mac OS X. Toast can use Rendezvous to discover shared burning machines on a local network it can also burn over the Internet if you enter an IP address. ToastAnywhere lets Mac users without built-in CD or DVD burners burn to another computer running Toast 6. Toast 6 also has several new networking features for burning discs. This should be fixed by the time you read this. Also, for drives that burn to both DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, buffer-underrun protection isn’t currently supported. We were annoyed by Toast’s lack of progress bars to indicate the time remaining for encoding video or burning data DVDs - the two most time-consuming uses of such an application. (The program gives only high or standard video-quality options, with no indication of bit rates, so you can’t fine-tune your compression.) Toast gives you basic trimming functionality for files when burning, you can choose to insert chapter markers either at timed intervals or at scene breaks. Toast encoded 5 minutes of video in about 14 minutes on a dual-867MHz Power Mac G4 at high quality. In our tests, it captured and burned an SVCD of footage from a Canon Optura 20 DV camcorder flawlessly. The new Plug & Burn feature lets you capture video from a DV camcorder and burn it to VCD, SVCD, or DVD. Toast 6 can even take an MPEG-1 file - which has audio and video multiplexed into a single track - and create a DVD from it at the click of a button. Now that Toast can author a DVD, users with external DVD burners - which iDVD doesn’t support - can create DVDs, and quick DVD creation is now easier for everyone. But Toast 6 adds MPEG-2 encoding, which lets Toast create a Super Video CD (SVCD) or a DVD, with simple menus, from any video format that QuickTime understands. Toast 5 could encode video files to MPEG-1 format and burn them to Video CD (VCD).
The most impressive of Toast 6’s improvements involves video.
