is there an alternative to toast? this thing isn't even worth a cent. toast made 4 consecutive coasters. i thought it was my dvd drive so i bought a new lg drive, and another 4 coasters. gave the same make of disks to a colleague with a pc and all burned without a hitch.

not worth it - timtatwork
It was probably a media/drive mismatch. Not all drives can burn the same media well and sometimes they won't burn it at all. Its not fair to blame Toast for something that is a users fault (like buying Memorex discs because they are cheap).Wednesday, February 25 2009 @ 09:04 PM PST

I've used Toast for YEARS. Reduce the burn speed. That always solves the problem. Your media and drive are not 100% compatible. It happens. Slowing things down makes all the difference. Also see if a firmware update is available for your burner. FW updates solves lots of media errors.Wednesday, February 25 2009 @ 09:17 PM PST
Reduce burn speed - DavidRavenMoon
Yes, reduce your burn speed. Some cheap media can't burn at full speed.I never get coasters anymore because I know what speed my burner will work at for certain disks.
But most of the time I set it at best speed and still get perfect burns. If I'm doing something big like a DVD I have Toast save it as a disk image first. Then if there is an issue it wont cause the burn to fail.

Good replies, but part of the question was "is there an alternative to toast?"I think that would be useful information here. There has to be something between Finder Burn and Toast.
is there a good alternative to toast?

There must be something peculiar to your setup. I've used toast for years without any issues.Reply to This
