This is probably the worst developer I've ever encountered. I purchased licenses for 10 of their applications (DiscBlaze, Footlights, Illumination, DeskDoodle, DoThisNow, RadicalPhoto, Macabinet, RadicalSqueeze, RadicalSafe and Zephyr).
As can be seen on their Web site, they now only have 2 applications. There were many promises regarding updates but those promises were never fulfilled.
Their forum was filled with user complaints, and instead of addressing the valid criticisms they removed the forum.
I'm surprised to see an update to DiscBlaze, since 6.1.6 is from 2006 and Bryan Lund supposedly abandoned the Mac platform.
For those recent switchers and people unfamiliar with Radical Breeze, AVOID THEM. At the very least, read the comments about Radical Breeze and Bryan Lund at various Mac-related sites (e.g., VersionTracker)
Probably their best application was Formation. It was not developed by Radical Breeze. They acquired it and announced that they would add many enhancements and promised a free upgrade to version 2. This was over 3 years ago.

They took people's money and did not deliver on their promises. The software itself is nothing special by today's standards. The free Burn may be a better option.

unfortunate, as they made decent software. but don't waste your money, since they probably won't update anymore.

The last time, it was an improved look, but not much else.
IMHO it is not good to keep charging upgrade fees on shareware, especially if it is not insanely great. I don't like Roxio, but might as well instead pay them for a lot more features and the same modus operandi.

I tried 4 times to open this app. I don't think it's anything to do with my system 'cause BurnX Free and SimplyBurnz all work fine. Which is strange considering DiscBlaze is shareware and the others are free.
Glad I did'nt spend money on this pile of rubbish otherwise I'd be pretty upset by now.
Deleted it from my system.

What OS version are you running? (DiscBlaze 6 and newer require OS 10.4.)
Do you have a supported CD/DVD burner attached and, if necessary, turned on?

I'd still say spend the extra $30 and get Toast 7, which is $59 after rebate at Buy.com... anybody who owns Tiger or iLife qualifies for the rebate.
Toast does...
1) data spanning... crucial for any serious burning software
2) one-button copy of CD and DVD, plus DVD compression
3) VCD and SVCD craetion
4) DVD 9:5 compression like Popcorn and DVD2One
5) audio DVDs
and alot more

When you were on version 4, you promised version 5 with VCD support. Nothing. But still you came out with version 5 with really no new features.
Now you're promising version 6 with a new UI (whoopie)... where the features in version 6?
- Enhanced custom icon support.
- Disc image burning as a disc type.
- The ability to check or uncheck wether a file or folder is burned in any disc layout easily.
- Audio file previews.
- Enhanced burn progress display (along with quite a few other UI improvements).
- Burning in simulation mode.
- UDF burning.
- Bit-for-bit ISO creation.
- There's many more as well, these are just a few of the changes.
Typically we have added a handful of new features every point (1.1, 1.2, etc) release and then saved the bigger releases (1.0, 2.0, etc) for times when a lot of new things are being introduced, a major platform shift is occuring (Tiger, etc) or the code for DiscBlaze has changed dramatically.
6.0 is a really solid release so far. Honestly, the UI improvement alone warrants a 6.0 in my mind. But there are also a number of usability improvements that will make people very, very happy.
As for VideoCD support, we initially planned support for this well over a year ago. In fact we even got it mostly functional and was previewed by a small selection of users. The end result? Nobody seemed to care. We asked and asked and asked our users what they wanted in terms of VideoCD functionality... and only one single user we talked to wanted to use it and could tell us what he wanted it to do.
Everyone else said "yeah, neat" but that they wouldn't ever actually use it. (That or they never would respond to our questions of what they wanted.)
Users were far more interested in things like UDF burning.
So we put the VideoCD project off to the side so that we could focus on things users actually wanted. If nobody was going to be interested in a feature, why would we clutter up DiscBlaze and spend a pretty large amount of time and money developing it?
We actively sought feedback on this for over half a year.
You see, we take a great deal of pride in listening very closely to our users. Most of the changes that have been made in DiscBlaze are direct results of conversations we've had with individuals or groups of users.
So, if it turns out that users really do want VideoCD support, talk to us about it. If we know people want something, and we know how they would use it (ie, what specific task they would use it for), then we can seriously look at making that happen if it doesn't hurt the rest of the app.
