I am impressed. Rarely do I bother to purchase software before the x.1 release, just to avoid the most glaring bugs. Toast 8 has shown to be exceptionally robust in its abilities to burn what I throw at it. The interface is clean, the progress bar a big step up from v6, and I've been nothing but happy burning CDs (data), audio CDs, DVDs, DVD-DL on my external lacie firewire drive.

My only complaint is that I could not find a decent upgrade discount. But I'm jumping more than one version, so even the cost of the software is nothing compared to the ease-of-use in making my data backups. The cost of the software is offset in the first hour of time trying to reproduce lost files if I didn't make frequent backups.

I have not yet tried to burn a DVD from my eyeTV library, but that's next on my list of trial to-dos. Elgato says this package should work great alongside their eyeTV 2 software for making discs of the shows I capture. That, too, would make the software a bargain.
