Even better, Toast lets you crop and trim your HD video, so you can edit out segments you don't want and conserve disc space and processing time. With a Blu-ray recorder, you can also burn hours of video onto BD media. You can fit up to an hour of HD video on a dual-layer DVD, which is plenty for most home video productions. So how do you get your home HD recordings onto your TV screen? External Blu-ray recorders for Macs have become affordable, but even if you don't want to buy one, the answer is as close as Toast and your DVD burner. Even the iPhone 4 can record 720p HD video (1280-by-720 pixels). And now that HD camcorders and DVRs are plentiful and affordable, more people are recording their home movies and TV shows in high-def. There is simply no comparison between the detail you get with full 1920-by-1080 HD video and standard 720-by-480 DVD resolution.

If you've watched Blu-ray movies played on an HDTV, you know how breathtaking the quality can be. Of course, if you do own a Blu-ray recorder, Toast 11 can burn to Blu-ray Discs as well. These special AVCHD discs can then be played back on your Sony Playstation® PS3 or most set-top Blu-ray players, for viewing on your HDTV's big screen. Toast 11 Titanium, together with the High-Def/Blu-ray Disc™ Plug-in (included with Toast 11 Pro), can burn HD video directly to standard DVD media using your regular DVD recorder, complete with customizable menu themes and navigation screens! If you thought you needed a Blu-ray recorder in order to burn high-definition discs from your home movies, think again.
