Burning CDs & DVDs Made Easy

burn

Burn, as you might have guessed, is a disk burning program. I’ve used it only for burning data disks, but it’s capable of burning audio and MP3 disks and video disks in a variety of formats (DVD, VCD, SVCD, DivX). It’s even able to burn disk images.

I like Burn because of its ease of use and reliability. I’ve used it for burning both CDs and DVDs at high speeds (CDs at 52x and DVDs at 16x) with no errors. Of course, the quality of disk media is also an important factor in disk burning reliability, so high-speed burns might fail with poor quality media.

The Burn window has panes for data, audio, video and copy options. Files can be easily added to the Burn window with the plus button at the bottom of the window or by dragging and dropping files into the window. After files are added, you’ll see the total size for all the files at the bottom of the window.
If you plan on making CDs or DVDs often, keep burn in you Dock. Remember to save a program in the Dock. Run it, and then right click on the icon and select “keep in dock.”
