Existing users, 
Could someone explain to me, if you have downloaded it / use it, why the 10.0.3 update is in excess of 800MB?? I was always used to the fact that Toast was bloatware at a couple of hundred MB, but 819MB is ridiculous!
Given that to get similar functionality all i need is OS X (burning using the system) and MacTheRipper / Handbrake for encoding, and the last to add below 50MB to the system, i want to know what Toast have done.

NICE!I also removed the language support for non-english. Toast is now down to 168.2 MB - v10.0.2 (539).

10.0.3 - R. Lynn Rardin
What surprised me was the size of the zipped 10.0.3 update (800+ MB) vs. the 10.0.2 update (400+ MB). Turns out that somebody forgot to empty the trash before finalizing the 10.0.3 image for distribution! :)Friday, October 09 2009 @ 06:11 AM PDT
10.0.3 - varase
Yeah, it is kinda ridiculous, but a lot of software now days is ridiculously large.Toast has a lot of functionality in there - and it's pretty intuitive to use.
Is it bloated? Not if you use the features.
Just recently I shot a video of a nephew playing a piano piece (a little over 3.5 mintues play time) on my iPhone and I synced it into iPhoto and threw it into Toast to burn a DVD because they didn't have anything capable of playing a H.264 MPEG4.
Total time: about five minutes to convert the MPEG4 to DVD's MPEG2, format a VIDEO_TS folder, and burn it to DVD+R.
They think I'm a magician now. And I never used the feature before that time.

10.0.3 - Tripod
The Toast 10.0.3 "update" is so large because the download contains the complete suite of seven applications that make up the Toast 10 suite.Roxio has provided the Toast suite "updates" as complete downloads for many years.
Is 819MB really that difficult to DL these days?

10.0.3 - R. Lynn Rardin
The fact that the update contains the full suite of programs explains why the 10.0.2 update is 400+ MB in size. It doesn't explain why the 10.0.3 update is double that size. As I mentioned previously, the reason for the bloated size of the 10.0.3 update is that the image contains an older Toast 10 update in the trash folder. I alerted Roxio to the problem. Seems silly for customers to waste the bandwidth downloading 400 MB of trash.Friday, October 09 2009 @ 10:37 AM PDT
DVD Menu Styles - DavidRavenMoon
That's why. They are 508.01 MB on my install. Each one is a .PSD (Photoshop) file. You could go in and remove the ones you don't want.Go to the Toast app, and right click and choose "view contents" and then find the resources folder, and then the Toast DVD Menu Styles folder.
