Toast 8 Titanium

It's been a few days since I've posted something that I'm interested in but I've been a bit busy. Don't worry though because I'm back! Today's item is Toast 8 Titanium. This one will go great with the Elgato Eye TV Hybrid that I have featured earlier!

Toast 8 Titanium is software that allows you to burn TV shows that you've recorded, higher quality audio CDs, and has many more features. You can convert movies to play on your PSP, make TV shows available on your iPod, and its even got built in Blu-Ray support for people who have shelled out the $$ for those Blu-Ray burners!

It's just jam packed full of features that are incredible. I'll be getting this with the Elgato Eye TV Hybrid as soon as I can! Of course, all of this comes at a price, but it's a really good one, just $69.99. If you act now, there is a rebate for $20, bringing down the price to $49.99. That is a veritable bargain for this software. If you're serious about media on your Mac, Toast 8 Titanium is must have software. Of course, it is available in my Astore!
