Capabilities

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Macworld Expo, Moscone
Center -- Roxio(R), a division of Sonic Solutions(R) (Nasdaq: SNIC), the
leader in digital media software, today announced the immediate availability
of Toast(R) 10 Titanium, the latest version of the company's market-leading
burning and digital media software for the Mac(R). The latest version helps
greatly enhance and extend Mac OS X and iLife(R) applications with a broad
range of additional capabilities for creating, sharing, and enjoying personal
digital media content.
Toast 10 delivers groundbreaking digital media functionality to Mac users
with a range of pioneering features that includes: Mac2TiVo for sending home
movies and other video content from a Mac to a TiVo(R) DVR; an audiobook
creator for converting audiobook CDs into files compatible with portable
devices; AVCHD(TM) Archive for quickly backing up original content from
high-definition camcorders onto DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD), and a Web video file
capture and conversion tool that allows Web-based video to be enjoyed on DVD
or mobile devices. Toast 10 Titanium is available today at
http://www.roxio.com and at Macworld Expo booth #2238.
"Toast is far more than better burning on Mac OS; it's about enabling
users to manage, create, enjoy and simply do more with their personal library
of digital photos, music, and video," said Vito Salvaggio, vice president of
consumer products, Sonic Solutions. "This latest version will have special
appeal to consumers that want to easily move digital media between their Mac
and digital devices such as the iPhone(R) and TiVo(R), or enjoy Web-based
video content offline."
New in Toast 10 Titanium:
-- AVCHD(TM) Archive -- Backup original video from AVCHD camcorders direct
to DVD or BD media in one easy step. Use the discs in BD players or as source
materials in future iMovie or Toast projects.
