MWSF: Roxio announces HD support in Toast

Roxio Inc. has confirmed plans to expand the Macintosh version of its Toast CD and DVD burning software with support for High Definition (HD) video. The company is also showing Macworld Expo attendees its latest release Popcorn, which allows users to back up and duplicate unencrypted DVDs.

With HD support, future versions of Toast will enable Mac users to import HD program files created by HDTV capture devices, automatically creating anamorphic widescreen DVDs that display video in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs can display a sharper image on a widescreen TV.

Popcorn, released in November, 2004, uses the Toast engine to provide users with a simple interface to back up unencrypted DVd-Video discs. It automatically extracts and compresses video to fit on a single-layer DVD if necessary.

 

Great news for Mac users. Thanks for posting this Claus.
