Toast DVD
Toast DVD is a video-to-DVD authoring tool from Roxio that lets users convert video files (MOV, MPEG, AVI and other formats) into playable DVD-Video discs with custom menus, themes, and chapter markers. It handles video encoding, menu design and disc burning in a single workflow. The app is primarily used by users who want to create physical DVDs from home video, camcorder footage or downloaded clips for playback on standalone DVD players or set-top players.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionToast DVD has not received meaningful updates for several years — the most recent version mentioned in available sources is 2.4.4 (from around 2020), and there is no native Apple Silicon build or any announcement from Roxio of one in development. Since there is no clear path forward for Toast DVD, and DVD burning itself has become increasingly rare as streaming and digital distribution dominate, you should plan to migrate away from this app before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, when the Intel build will stop launching entirely. If you still need to burn DVDs occasionally, the free and actively maintained open-source app Burn (currently at version 3.1.6 and distributed as a Universal Binary) offers a straightforward alternative for creating data, audio and video discs. Burn is simpler than Toast DVD and may not have all of the menu customisation features, but it handles the core DVD-burning workflow. Alternatively, if your video files are primarily for viewing on modern devices, consider whether archiving to external drives or uploading to a cloud service better suits your current needs.
