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.

ORDER2  Other than LiquidCD or Toast prior to version 6, Burn is capable of burning Double Layer (+DL) DVDs which are playable even in older standalone DVD players.

The not too user friendly interface needs some reworking, though. Burning video DVDs should appear as one of the main menu choices/buttons instead of being hidden deep inside the "Data" menu. Or even better, it should replace the actual "Video" menu, whose muxing features etc. should be integrated as a submenu to the DVD burning menu. And PLEASE move the "create a fully compatible DVD-video disk" checkbox from the app preferences to the apps forefront window. (Why isn't this set as default anyway?)

Also, is it really nescessary to create an image/iso file before burning to disk? Why not make this an optional feature, if possible?

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!

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.

TOROSROSS  Great piece of software, thank you.

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

Cheers!

TOROSROSS  Oops, sorry. I meant to say "after erasing", not "after burning".

Thank you to all developers!
