Roxio Toast 20.3 Pro successfully burns DVDs on macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1

Roxio Toast 20 and Mac OS Golden Gate 27.0.1

I have just installed Golden Gate 27.0.1 on my 2021 14 inch MacBook Pro and have successfully burnt a test DVD with Roxio Toast 20.3 Pro. The burning completed without the usual waiting time at the very end of the burn that I had been experiencing on Tahoe and previous OS versions!

Prior to upgrading I checked with AI and a number of forums as to whether Toast would still work on Golden Gate. I couldn't get a definitive answer so I made a bootable backup using the SuperDuper 4.0.10 on a 1TB SSD so that I could use it if it stopped working on Golden Gate... I still make a lot of DVDs and CDs.

I found a Japanese forum where a Japanese user got a reply from the Japanese Roxio representative who said Toast would no longer be upgraded for future OS versions! Considering how powerful AI has become, it probably would not be that difficult for it to rewrite whatever needs to be rewritten...

I have Toast 20 and no issue with Tahoe or Golden Gate. As you were informed the issue is that Roxio Toast is intel based and unless Roxio does a major update it will not work with OS28 and later. This may be the last life for Toast.
