DESCRIPTION
There are a lot of ways to approach burning discs. Burn keeps it simple, but still offers a lot of advanced options.

Create data discs with advanced data settings like, file permissions, the disc icon, file dates and more on the fly. Create video and audio discs without worrying about conversion. Create your personalized DVD-Video discs using themes. Recreate discs and disc images you all ready have.

Burn doesn't reinvent the wheel, it uses many powerful open source Unix utilities and is also open source.

JON555  My biggest beef with this app is, a) it's not updated often enough and, b) the UI and app icon are a bit dated.

That said, this is a fantastic burning app that works well and is feature-rich. A great alternative to paying Roxio for Toast. Keep up the awesome work devs!

HANDINI  Burn was working great until the other day. I was converting videos and all of a sudden it no longer can convert the videos and reports an unknown error.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

When I drag previously converted videos from burn into Toast 6 I get a Mac OS Error -50 but none of the forums online explain video conversion as the cause for this error and I am not sure if it's related.

CHRISCHRAM  Version 2.3 crashes too often to be useful on my Intel iMac under Mac OS X 10.5.7. There is a link in the author's blog for an Intel-only version 2.1 that is much more stable.

CHRISCHRAM  I should have mentioned that the crashes occur when making a DVD during the MPEG2 conversion.

It crashed while encoding an avi file to an mpg.

TOROSROSS  Great piece of software, thank you.

My only suggestion is to add an option to eject the disk after burning.

Cheers!

JOSHMUNKEY  Again, RiDATA DVD+R DL troubles. This time Burn 2.3u, but thankfully it ejected the DVD rather than going in infinite loop.

DRErrorStatusKey = {

DRErrorStatusAdditionalSenseStringKey = "Focus servo failure";

DRErrorStatusErrorKey = -2147352542;

DRErrorStatusErrorStringKey = "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.";

DRErrorStatusSenseCodeStringKey = 04;

DRErrorStatusSenseKey = ;

};

DRStatusCurrentSessionKey = 1;

DRStatusCurrentSpeedKey = 3324;

DRStatusCurrentTrackKey = 1;

DRStatusPercentCompleteKey = -1;

DRStatusProgressInfoKey = {

DRStatusProgressCurrentKPS = 3250.39599609375;

DRStatusProgressCurrentXFactor = 2.299999952316284;

};

DRStatusStateKey = DRStatusStateFinishing;

DRStatusTotalSessionsKey = 1;

DRStatusTotalTracksKey = 1;

The error list continues for a while. Can post more data if needed.

ROBK  Have you ever been able to Burn these Ridata discs with another Burning Program? Perhaps it is not the Burn program but the inability of your hardware to burn Ridata discs.

I had a similar problem with Verbatim CD's. It would hang at the closing session stage. It made no difference what the burning program I used. I had to switch to a different Brand CD. Now I can burn without any problems.

JOSHMUNKEY  Coincidentally, I verified that the batch of DVD+R DL's from RiDATA were without error or issue with the inner workings of OSX just tonight by using Apple's Disk Utility application. It handled the burn fine and reported back zero errors. The content was the exact same as what I wanted Burn 2.3u to handle. Very odd.

Burn handles my other standard DVD's just fine, so I guess that I'll just go to the Disk Utility in the future if I want to burn a DL. Too bad it cost me 2 DVD+R DL's to find out the proper course of action...

JOSHMUNKEY  Encountered major error when burning RiDATA DVD+R DL. Application hung indefinitely in "closing session" phase before verification could begin. Allowed copious amounts of time to see if app would fix itself. It didn't. Quit yielded no results; force quit disappeared UI but app hung in dock. DVD would not mount on desktop nor eject by any means. Force rebooted, but DVD still in burn mode would not allow the computer to reboot. Cut power, rebooted. DVD would not mount nor eject. Rebooted again, this time holding eject button at chime. Worked. Following link has screen cap of error report: http://tinyurl.com/qu4ssc

VOSKARP  I'm having trouble burning DVD-videos on DL-discs. They don't work, partly or not at all, but the good ol' 4.7GB ones work fine. Sometimes it just starts preparing, then finishes without actually writing the main stuff; ruining the not so cheap disc in the process! Should this be expected, or am I just to doped up in the head when using this otherwise so smooth working combination of fine technology? I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.6 on a Mac mini with the PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTS08. Thank you/*

ROBOTANK  I'm having some trouble with this latest version. Burned DVD video discs won't play on my PS3 (that's currently the only stand-alone player I have, but I'm assuming the issue isn't exclusive to the PS3). Also, the menus that Brun creates when authoring discs support chapter selection, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get it to create chapters. It also doesn't carry over the chapters from files it converts. Am I missing something here? I'd appreciate any advice or info anyone could offer on these topics.

MECHAMANIA  Did you try DVD Player on your Mac to see if it's the PS3?

ROBOTANK  I tried two different discs on the PS3 and my Mac, both created from the same MP4 file converted by Burn. One of them worked in the Mac and not the PS3, and the other didn't work in either one. For both of these discs I had used one of Burn's DVD Themes. Finally, I used Burn to convert the same file and burn a disc without a theme, and it worked properly in both the Mac and the PS3. The obvious conclusion is that Burn's DVD Themes create incompatibility with some devices. I have no idea one of the themed discs worked on the Mac and the other didn't, but there's definitely a problem with this feature, which is unfortunate, because it would be quite useful if it worked properly. Hopefully, this will be addressed in a future update. I'd love to have an alternative to Toast to create menus on DVDs.
