For once I need a virtualisation software, MU decided to let me down and not include Parallels... 
Quite good bundle, though, which I won't get as I already own most of the apps.
If you are in academia, Scrivener+Bookends is a must.
Not really into Toast+DVD Ripper, but someone may find it useful.

Notebook is useful for academia as well.
I checked this myself and NO, it doesn't support saving as ISO images, just like the previous version. This was all I ever used it for previously as it was a nice quick way to change a .img file to a .iso
Guess I have to stick to terminal commands.

Well i should have clarified. Save as a disc image or Bin/cue, then change the extension.
Terminal commands just to change the extension. Wow! Are you that lazy?
Scrivener and Bookends are really a great bundle for academicians who need to write and cite. Another great alternative to Bookends is Sente which is probably the only reference manager that allows you to highlight some texts and take note (comment) right away.
p.s. iStat Menu 5 is a great bonus to the bundle too!

TIP: If you have the Toast 11 Plugin it is the same, you can use that plugin again I think. (I bought the plugin in the bundle and registered it with Roxio, and the licence shows as "Toast 11 HD Plugin" just like the Toast 11 plugin I had before.) You may need to reinstall/activate the plugin after installing Toast 12 though
I think I've just renamed the .toast to .iso and had it work in the past.
I haven't tried this on compressed disk images, etc... just the vanilla toast file
The .toast format is not the same as iso. Reading with understanding, are you too lazy to do that?? Thanks for your out of date useless information.
Thats how you used to do it on Toast 10. They changed this in 11 and its the same in 12.
----------
That used to work in 10 but is no longer supported, they changed the format they use for toast files. Its well documented and moaned about on the Roxio forums.
Titanium is a weak material and is only worth using when alloyed with other elements.
What other elements do I need to add in to make Toast a worthwhile product?
...stop naming things titanium.

Just to chime in on this: I've successfully created a .toast file (Mac/PC compatible!) which I renamed in Finder to .iso and then mounted to my Windows 8.1 vm in VMware Fusion. However, Fusion is able to mount .dmg files as well (which is what it uses to install OS X in a vm). The best test is to copy the .iso to that Windows vm and mount it in Windows 8.1 via its built-in iso mounter (new in Windows as of 8.0). This will guaranteed only work with real .iso files. The result? It mounted without any problems. Vim even reads the contents!
Looks like you're the one with the outdated and/or useless information (as it is not correct).
Moral of the story: get the trial version or buy it and see for yourself. Works better than lame forum posts
Btw, I really like the .iso mount as cd/dvd that comes with Toast. Now I can finally use .iso files on my MBA with apps that will look for a cd/dvd (and don't find any if you simply mount it in OS X as it will mount it as disk image). No need to bring the usb cd/dvd drive any longer!
They should somehow make this available with iTunes credit(I have so much credit from free apple/store promos). Getting another 200$ on iphone release from radio shack. Nothing really that amazing that can't be replaced with free software in the bundle. Netshade is completely useless as they log your information.
For one of you who bought the bundle...
can you gift me with your scrivener license code.
I've been wanting this app for a while but can't afford it.
If you have the bundle, but don't plan on using this one app,
I would so very appreciate it!!
Thank you!
(I could also paypal you $5 for your trouble if that would be helpful)

It's not a Mac App Store deal. These are apps that activate with licenses.
But keep an eye out. I feel like there will be some MAS deals soon.

I tried this with version 12 of Toast. Had a MSDN windows 8.1 .IMG file, created a .toast file using toast, changed the extension to .iso then tried to create a usb boot using the microsoft usb tool and the iso was invalid. Did the same thing but created a .iso from the .img using terminal and it worked. VMware fusion opens .iso and .img fine and was also able to open the .toast files once I renamed them. Not sure if it is something peculiar with the windows images from microsoft but I have a conversion tool in windows that happily converts them now.
I also tried the above with windows 7 pro sp1 .img files from microsoft and they didn't work either.
There can be some problems when you from one type of file format to another as well as some general iso problems (Microsoft has a tool for creating a usb stick out of their iso files but it doesn't like all iso files, not even their own ones). That's why you need to test it yourself.
Problem with their site?
I tried to order this last night and after entering my order info, the page showed 'Processing' for over 10 minutes.
Nothing else happened so I just closed out. Anyone else have problems with them?
