The fun continues with Roxio Toast. As many us have experienced, there’s been a persistent OS X TiVoToGo issue related to audio/video synchronization. Well, I finally had a few free minutes to install the update and it didn’t go so well (see above). After deleting portions of the prior Toast application install (v8.0.3), the new stuff wouldn’t copy into the application directory. Some folks on the Roxio forums reported manually copying and overwriting their originally installed contents resulted in a partially functional product. So, I blew away my existing application folder and initiated a fresh install (have your license key handy just in case) and everything launches. Though, I haven’t tried any TiVo downloads or conversions yet…
In other TiVo software news, Desktop 2.6.1 has been released for Windows. According to TiVo, this update more gracefully handles interupted file transfers and provides an updated Windows Certificate (needed for manually file transfers). My install was pretty painless this AM, other than a manual removal of the prior TiVo Desktop. I just need some help finding the best video podcasts to transfer on over… Suggestions?
