Roxio Toast Titanium 20 installer fails on macOS Ventura 13.0

I guess I did not read the fine print on their web site when purchasing their current version of software, how silly of me that I would assume their product would be compatible with the current macOS. Usually I would check the detailed specs for OS compatibility if I was running an older out of date OS, not the current version since last year. Anyone have any luck getting their installer to work on Ventura, or is it just me? Their .dmg runs an installer that downloads a .pkg, but when the .pkg starts to install it fails at like 3%.

Any other suggestions for Ventura 13.0 compatible burning video DVDs from home personal movies that are playable in a set top DVD player, since we no longer have iDVD?

I guess I can try to request a refund if Roxio doesn't have an update or a fix for my installer error here.

Some folks seem to be able to get it to install and working. Their tech support suggested this might help:

I am not a beta tester and not going to resort to using Terminal & UNIX shell scripting for this. The refund request was processed promptly, so I am thankful for that. I might try them again in a future release. TurboTax works reliably every year, not sure why Toast can't get their installer to work as seamlessly.

yes, the .dmg downloads fine. I run their installer program which downloads a .pkg file. I enter my admin account password, the .pkg file attempts to install, and about 3% complete the error window pops up.

I accept defeat on this one. A refund was granted. I will wait until their next version is released and maybe try it again. For now, I will just burn my movie files to a DVD data disc to share them with family so they can watch them on a computer rather than a DVD movie disc that is playable on a set-top DVD player.

I tried again after updating to macOS Ventura 13.3, as if that would help, still gets the same error during the .pkg installation.

Not sure what your issue is. I installed Toast 19 with Ventura and no issue. I would think Toast 20 would install. Was your file one that looked like this: Toast_20_installer.dmg?
