Toast 7.1是苹果机下最好的苹果机刻录软件，Mac内建的CD/DVD刻录功能很好，但要大量刻录CD或DVD则显得力有不足，而Roxio的Toast可满足人们对强大刻录软件的需求。
Toast 5 Titanium（2001年7月）得到了Macworld的高度评价，新版本又是如此。Roxio改进了该产品的界面和视频能力，并且增加了网络刻录特性。Toast 5是Toast成为该领域主导软件的很好例证，而Toast 7则巩固了这一软件的王者地位。
整洁的界面
在Toast主窗口的上端有四个页签，分别是Data、Audio、Video和Copy，其中的Video替代了费解的原Other页签。每个页签有格式选项，具有Basic和Advanced两种设置，通过左边新增的一个drawer可以方便地进入这些设置。
Roxio最终还是解决了Toast的一些不尽人意的地方。在Toast窗口的右下角，与录制键一起，有一个指示器可显示占用的和可用的光盘空间。右下角还有个较小的按键，用它可以在已进入的各刻录机中进行选择，这是个很恰当的省时途径。这个程序可以事先关掉验证功能，还可以顶出已刻录完成的光盘或者将其安装到桌面。
视频刻录更容易
Toast 7.1给人印象最深的改进是视频方面的改进。Toast 5可以把视频文件编译成MPEG-1格式再烧录到视频CD（VCD）上。而Toast 7则增加了MPEG-2编码功能，这样，就能够用Toast通过简捷的菜单从任何QuickTime可以识别的视频格式制作超级视频CD（SVCD）或DVD。由于Toast可以制作DVD，那么拥有iDVD所不支持的外置DVD刻录机的用户就可以创建DVD，而且现在任何人都可以更简便地快速制作DVD。用Toast 7，甚至轻点按键就能把单轨复合有音频和视频的MPEG-1文件制作成DVD。
用新增的即插即刻功能，可以从DV摄像机抓取视频内容刻录到VCD、SVCD或DVC。在我们的测试中，它完美无瑕地把从佳能Optura 20 DV摄像机中抓取的一段视频内容烧录成了SVCD。在一台867MHz双CPU的Power Mac G4上，Toast在大约14分钟内完成了5分钟长度的优质视频编码。（这个程序只给了高级和标准两种视频画质选项，没有位速率指示，所以无法精调压缩率。）Toast提供了基本的文件剪辑功能。在刻录时，可以选择在时间间隔处或在场景间断处插入章节标记。
另外，对于刻录DVD-R/RW和DVD+R/RW的驱动器，目前不支持缓冲区欠载保护技术（buffer-underrun protection，即防刻死碟技术），这个问题在您阅读此文时当已经得到纠正。
刻录增强项
Toast 7.1还新增了几个用于光盘刻录的网络特性。ToastAnywhere使没有内置CD或DVD刻录机的Mac用户能够把内容烧录到运行Toast 7的其他计算机上。Toast可以使用Rendezvous在本地网络上找到共享刻录的机器；如果输入IP地址，还可以通过互联网进行刻录。不过，因为把所有数据传输到另一台计算机需要有高速连接，所以这一特性只有在有线的以太网络上才有意义。
Toast It是个很好的语境菜单项，用它可以把文件或文件夹送到Toast进行数据备份，而且还可以在烧录过程中压缩和加密Mac专用的数据盘。因为文件成了OS X磁盘映像的一部分，所以不用其他软件便可以读这些文件。在我们的测试中，这项功能工作得很好，但我们所获得的压缩率有限。
其他优点
Toast 7.1有四个应用程序增大了其可用性：Motion Pictures可以制作具有全景和缩放的幻灯片；CD Spin Doctor 2是Toast的数字化程序的升级版；Discus RE可帮助为CD和DVD创建标签；而Propaganda Productions的Déjà Vu是集成在Toast 7中的备份软件。
Toast 7.1 Titanium的威力和灵活性均胜过了任何一款刻录功能。Toast 7具备了在这类软件中可期望的所有特性。如果你有一个不带DVD制作软件的外置DVD刻录机，或者你大量烧录CD和DVD，那么Toast 7.1是很理想的。
