“Toast has been the standard for burning and ease of use for over 10 years,” Roxio, the developer of the app, says. The app also does exporting and converting of video for iPod, PSP and various cell-phone formats, and can automatically catalog the contents of a disc, copy audio CDs, movies and DVDs with extreme efficiency. Using the rather-expensive Toast Titanium ($99), Mac owners can create great audio CDs with smooth crossfades and transitions, as well as use the exclusive TiVoToGo and EyeTV burning for an amazing TV experience. Usually referred to simply as Toast, the disc-burning app goes beyond the basic writing offered by Mac OS X and its included software, setting the standard for burning CDs, DVDs, and even Blu-ray discs on the Mac.

So I booted off my original Tiger 10.4 disk and used the "Archive and Install" option to reinstall OS 10.4 from scratch.
