Roxio Toast 11 Titanium is an all-in one DVD burner software, which allows you to burn media files into CDs and DVDs on Mac or Windows PC. And it also can help you to copy DVD, Blu-ray discs and CDs easily. However, the burning function of Roxio Toast 11 is not so perfect and Toast for Mac version can only support Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or lower. Long time user of Toast on the Mac platform. Since Corel purchased, the program is buggy and while I have updated to 19.3 for Toast Pro, the app still crashes and is unusable. Contact Customer Service is a joke! Nothing but a runaround and useless 'fixes'. Running Big Sur on a 2018 MacBook Pro and 2019 iMac. Same issues on both machines.

Just for reference, this was available since at least 10.2.

Yes, isn't .toast the same as a DVD/CD master? And I'm positive I've mounted toast images with OS9's Disk Copy before.
The new thing about this is that we're talking about Disk Utility, not Disk Copy. Disk Copy is no longer in Panther and its functionality has been put into Disk Utility. Thus, this is a new hint and not a repeat of a previous feature.
I've noticed that Disk Utility won't recognize .toast files directly, the way Disk Copy did. I'd rather convert the image without mounting it, personally...

In /dev/null, no one can hear you scream
Update: I noticed that if I changed the .toast extension to .iso, Disk Utility will allow me to convert it without mounting it first, which is the preferred way to go about that.

What happens in 10.3 to AppleScripts that send events (when made in 10.2) to Disk Copy? Are they forwarded on to Disk Utility? Of course, one could just rewrite the script to do the work using the command line (do shell) utilities (disktool, hdiutil, diskutil), but there might still be a need for interfacing with the GUI utility I suppose.
Has anyone used the older Disc Copy from say, 10.2.x in panther? I miss it as a stand alone and found it rather awkward just to make some img for server deployment (Using Disc Utility, then makinga new image, giving it a size, ...)
Before it was just drag and img.

To BeOS or Not to BeOS
I use Disk Copy from 10.2.8 for drag and drop operations in panther and it does its job very well.

This works for 10.5.6 Mac. Get your toast file, and open it with disk utility. Select the toast file at the left, and then click convert at the top, and have it end with .dmg. It works like a charm, but it may take awhile if it is a large file. It took my 5 gig .toast file about 4-5 minutes to convert it...
Anybody still out there? I'm having a problem with a .toast file-i've tried changing the extension, then converting it in Disk Utility. Every time I try, however, it says 'Unable to create '_____.dmg' (not recognized)'.
Anybody got advice?
