Hello,

mac newbie here, Can anyone please advise if i need to buy a specfic product to burn CD/DVD audio or DVD files or is there a free program avaliable ?

Thanks
 
If you want to buy a dedicated product to burn stuff to disc with then Toast is probably the most popular option.

I personally don't use it, to burn a music CD I will use iTunes, to burn a photo cd Aperture/iPhoto etc. To burn files and folders straight to a disc you can just use finder and drag and drop away :)

When you say burn DVD files do you mean write DVD movie files to disc, or just burn DVDs in general?

Thx, Both really i.e Make a general MP3 DVD and Backup Movies
 
The built-in program for OS X will work fine.

Anything else and I'd suggest Toast by Roxio :)

Built in program? :o

Well, it's not a program, more a feature of the Operating System (OS).

I like to call it "Burn" but I didn't want to confuse people after yo posted your link.

Right click (Option+Click) the folder/file you wish to burn and create a new burn folder. From here, just click burn in the finder window.. and wait.
 
You've never used the built-in burning facilities? :eek:

Unless you want to burn specific types of data (e.g. an audio cd) then it'll work fine; that's where Toast comes in.. it allows you to burn boot discs and audio cds etc.
 
Don't worry.. I only think a *little* less of you ;)

Kidding. LOL @ the n00b moment though.

yep, Toast and Burn are probably the two best burning progs for OSX, although check out Disco! I like it for the awesome burning smoke effect when you burn a cd :)

After seeing that I kinda wish Toast would pop out some yummy bread.. maybe it's just me :/
 
With Disco we tried pushing the boundaries of interface, usability, and utter functional simplicity. Well, once you realize that Disco is emitting real time interactive smoke as you burn, we start redefining the boundaries. Want to push it out of the way? Blow into your microphone and the smoke will react accordingly. Or, go ahead and flick at it with your mouse. Remember, you'll need a recent mac to play with the full interactive smoke.
