Another thing I don't like about the way Toast 6 does things is that 
AFAIK, they no longer use a Quicktime plug-in. That means you can't use 
iMovie or Quicktime Pro to do the encoding. Fortunately, I still have 
the Toast 5 Plugin installed so I can do it either way. Actually, I've 
only used the Toast 5 plugin for this, so I haven't seen the audio sync 
problems others have.

I have to agree with Eric. The features that induced me to pay for the 
upgrade were the video features, and I've been pretty disappointed so 
far.

OTOH if you need to burn data DVDs and CDs, Toast is much better than 
using the Finder (IMO). I say that for one reason only -you don't have 
to wait for everything to be copied to a disk image before you can 
burn.
