“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 12
Thank you, we have a winner – this Contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Scotty D!
On the Twelfth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Toast 10 Titanium Pro from Roxio!
That’s right, Roxio released this monster update today at Macworld, and we are you giving you a chance to snag your very own copy of the Pro version of Roxio’s award-winning CD/DVD burning/Media Streaming/video compressing/Tivo-loving/ High-Def supporting/File Syncing/too much more to naming- software!
Toast had already long ago evolved from a mere CD/DVD burning application, but version 10 has so many cool new features that you may find it replaces many of your existing media applications. In fact, there’s so much cool stuff in Toast 10, even if you never burn a single disc you’re still going to want to pick it up! You can check out the full list of features here, but some of the cooler new features in version 10 are:
AVCHD™ Archive – Backup original video from AVCHD camcorders direct to DVD or BD media in one easy step.
Mac2TiVo – Send standard definition and HD video from your Mac to your TiVo DVR for viewing on your TV.
Web Video To Go – Save Web video from your favorite video sharing sites to view offline, burn or convert it for viewing on portable players such as an iPod or iPhone.
On-the-go Entertainment – Stream and watch television programs, such as EyeTV recordings and TiVoToGo transfers on your iPhone or iPod touch over Wi-Fi with the new iPhone native application Streamer®.
Portable Audiobooks – Convert audiobook CDs into single audiobook files for playback on your iPod or other portable player– complete with individual chapters – no more individual audiobook chapter files scattered throughout your iTunes library or iPod.
Music Builder – Expand your audio library by capturing streaming audio. Toast now automatically splits captured songs into tracks, tags them with title and artist information, and then sends them to iTunes.
Folder Sync – Synchronize folders bi-directionally between multiple computers, network volumes or external hard disks.
Stunning DVDs – Create personalized DVDs with any of the over 20 new DVD and Blu-ray Disc menu styles—available in both full screen and high-definition widescreen versions.
Plus, since you are winning the PRO version of Toast 10, you also get these five 3rd party apps designed to handle all your High-def, audio, and photo needs!
HD/BD Plug-In – Author HD video content on to standard DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Take high-def (HD) video footage from AVCHD™ camcorders, TiVo® and EyeTV and create Blu-ray Discs or even standard DVDs with HD content that can be played on any standard Blu-ray set top box or PlayStation® 3 game console.
SmartSound Sonicfire™ Pro – Orchestrate the perfect sound track to accompany videos and slideshows. Use Sonicfire Pro’s unique automatic “Mood Mapping†feature or select from a library of included music tracks and adjust the mix and feel of the score to perfectly match your videos and slideshows.
BIAS SoundSoap™ – Remove unwanted noise like wind, hisses, scratches, and pops from LPs, cassettes, or almost any audio, music or video soundtrack.
LightZone™ – Produce striking photos in a simple and intuitive way. Sophisticated features such as zone mapping and relight give you the control to achieve professional quality results.
FotoMagico™ – Turn pictures into spellbinding slideshows with a few simple clicks, and then present them in high definition. Innovative text, transition and alignment tools ensure astonishing results. Burn your slideshow to DVD or Blu-ray Disc for easy viewing and sharing.
To enter: Since Toast 10 is first and foremost about burning discs, leave us a comment telling us what horrible CD or DVD you would want to burn, literally, in a bonfire. It could be a Backstreet Boys CD your aunt gave you for Christmas one year, or the extended director’s cut of Halle Berry’s Catwoman. Maybe it’s that Barney & Friends CD your kids make you play when you get in the car – plastic fumes, be damned, you know of a disc somewhere that needs burning! Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

Any Windows CD
Kim Ki Duk Dvd Box. It has awful video quality, and I picked it for christmas.
Anything by Britney Spears
Pay It Forward on DVD. Can you believe somebody gave me that? As a gift? I should burn down their house. Will Toast do that for me?
Definately the most boring movie I ever saw as a kid, “Shintaro”
My wife’s Barbara Streisand’s CD. Ideally, prior to her importing it onto her MacBook.
The 6 CD boxed set of every version of “Little Drummer Boy” ever made which was recently featured on “Who’s Line is it “. Not sure it is real but certainly made my stomach churn!
I think I still have a Microsoft Works CD – what a waste of time that was!
I burned my copy of Immature’s first album 8 years ago..

I would like to burn “Christmas with the Kranks”
That was the worst holiday movie ever

I still have a really big stack of those FREE AOL cds. Don’t know why I still have them but the tins that some of them came in are good for mailing cds.
Any country CD ever made.

Barenaked Ladies. They gave me the impression that there would be something else in that jewel case.

my old “Windows Me” install CD. Why do I still have this?
Anything rrecorded by Willie Nelson
Hootie & The Blowfish
Any CD or DVD with silly copy protection schemes.
I would like to burn anything that had to do the Go-Gos. Why the Police let them open for them is beyond mere reasoning. Should have sealed their lips before they were allowed in the studio.

the worst motorcycle movie ever, it makes a disgrace out of bikers
