There are many options for Mac OS X when it comes to burning software. When I first bought my Mac back in 2007, I was prepared to pay money for burning software but I like the option of looking at open source software as well. Quite often the free software is of similar or better quality to software you have to pay for. This is exactly the case with Burn.

One of my favorite features in Burn, is the option to choose what system the CD/DVD will be used with. There are options for Mac only, PC only, or Mac or PC. Very handy for multi-computer homes or businesses.

There are also options for burning data, music, audio, or video. Burn can create a wide variety of discs depending on your requirement. For instance you can use VideoCD to DVD-Video discs, and DivX discs to fit more of your videos on a disc.

You can download themes and iconsets for Burn if you don’t like the original look, although like most Mac software, it’s very easy to use and has a great user interface. Once you use Burn, you’ll see why it’s been a popular choice as best mac software for burning on OS X.

Burn is 100% free and open source.
