Roxio has issued a patch for their popular Mac DVD Burning solution, Toast 11, which addresses crash, burn speed, video quality and other issues…

When I was 10, my jeans had patches sown onto the patches — I was tough on clothes, but mom wielded a deft and tenacious needle. The folks at Roxio are exhibiting a similar level of pluck with the third release of their popular Mac DVD Burning solution, Toast 11.1, which addresses crash, burn speed, video quality and other issues.

Lucky three? Roxio has released Toast 11.1 [1072] (version history), which is the third update of this popular Mac DVD burning and media management app this year. This particular point update includes mostly bug fixes:

• Resolves crash issue encountered by some users in Audio projects
• Resolves issue with inconsistent burn speeds
• Resolves error that occured with Fit-to-DVD option enabled
• Resolves issue where having a low-resolution image at the start of a video project would result in poor video quality
• Resolves issue that would result in some set-top Blu-ray players being unable to correctly seek back or forward within a title
• AVCHD view in Media Browser will no longer keep jumping to top while content is being indexed
• Audio CD track list can now be copied to clipboard
• Audio preview controls now allow rewind and fast-forward within a single track

Toast 11.1 [1072] via the app’s built-in “Check for Updates” function or as a standalone installer via MacUpdate.

It’s good that Roxio releases regular Toast patches. However, it would be very much appreciated if the company expended some effort on Popcorn, their DVD copying app, which hasn’t been updated since 2010.

Are you satisfied with Toast? Is Popcorn essentially dead in the water?

I know that your web site likes to act as a PR beacon for various software publishers — but, once again, there are serious issues that would be apparent if you looked at some of the other software websites and paid attention to the comments of actual USERS of the software.

To have any credibility, your website needs to do more than act as a publicity agent for the publishers –

Still no luck for me with 11.1 [1072]. When I create a Blu-ray disk image, it gets stuck indicating a low percentage, but stops (always) with this job at 24.06 GB file size. Nothing will change for hours. I tried every recommendation Roxio gave: latest system (Mountain Lion), fixing permissions, clearing caches, ditching prefs, etc. The program, which I have used for years, no longer works.

Each time I launch Toast Titanium I get an error code.

“Couldn’t complete the last command because you don’t have the required access permissions. Result Code -5000″

If I’m lucky I might be able to make a change, if not the program quits. Any Thoughts?? I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, but still the same.
