If you’re burning dozens of discs at once, iTunes will stop you occasionally from doing this, so Burn can help streamline your process. You may have a stack of songs, however, that you are not importing into iTunes but you still want to burn. Why? Because iTunes already allows you to burn audio CDs and MP3 CDs. This is the other type of disc you probably won’t need to use.
After you’ve added everything, press the burn button to begin the burning process: You can select the disk format from the menu on the right, title your disc on the left, and add files by selecting the + button in the lower left. You’ll notice that there are four tabs: Data, Audio, Video, Copy. The graphic below shows the main window in Burn. Finally, the Mac + PC format is the default one that the Mac OS X Finder uses. If you want to use the UDF format for DVDs or the DVD-Video format, those are there, too. For a Windows-only format, select Joliet. If you want a Mac-only format, you can select HFS+. Sometimes, however, you need to burn discs in a particular format. You can already burn data discs right in the Mac Desktop, so this portion of the program may not seem as useful. I’m still going to cover them, so feel free to skip down to the Video and Disk Image sections if you’re more interested in those. The first two sections, Data & Audio, are probably not what you’re here for, since you can already burn these discs. So how can we get started? First, click the link above to download Burn, then let’s open it up. It will let you do everything listed above and more. There is a free option, and it’s called Burn.
It will let you do all of this, but you’ll have shell out around $100. The expensive answer is to purchase Roxio’s Toast. IPhoto lets you make a backup of your photos, but what if you want to make a Photo CD to pop in your DVD player or send to your family? iMovie, combined with iDVD, lets you shoot home movies with a digital camcorder and turn them into beautiful DVDs, but what do you do if you want to make a DVD out of the 3 videos your daughter emailed to you of the grand kids? And if you want to make a VCD to play in a VCD player? How do you convert image formats such as DMG, ISO, UDF, BIN/CUE, and NRG discs?
As you get more comfortable using your Mac, though, you may want to start burning different kinds of discs. We’ve all made a mixed CD for friends or family because it’s easy to do.
