Best CD/DVD Burning Application For Linux?

What's the best lightweight burning application for Linux? I'm trying to avoid Brasero and K3B.

I'm currently using k3b its great as is Brasero, I would go so far as to say both are commercial quality applications. I've used growisofs for dvds which is a command line app, extremely light weight: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DVD_writing I have not used Nero Linux before though it was my favorite program on windows.
This recorder application sounds very interested, looking forward to trying this one out when I get home tonight.

  • DVD Burning Applications for OS X 10.4.11

    I have been looking to see if it was possible to burn DVDs off of my iMac, preferrably after i buy them off iTunes since i do not have Apple TV.
    My question simply is, what application would i use on my iMac to burn DVDs or would i have to buy a program?

    You may also want to look into this program-

  • Is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for iMac

    is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for my imac?

    You can simply google for that; I'm sure there'll be plenty - just make sure it specifically states that it is compatible with Mac and the OS version you are running. I've had a LaCie for a number of years; it is self powered with FW port (they no longer make this one unfortunately); here is their non-Bluray option they have now:

    (Personally, I prefer self powered instead of bus powered). They also sell Bluray burners.

  • Best New DVD Burner for a G5

    My DVD Burner seems to have died and I'm wondering if anyone can advise on best replacement. I'd love to be able to burn DVD 9's.
    Thanks

    Have you figured out the reason why your computer becomes unstable after having a disk in the drive?
    I am having the same exact issue; after having disks in the DVD drive (PLEXTOR DVDR PX-800A:) they will not eject; I've tried using the eject command in the terminal, and using the "Open Superdrive" menu option.
    I've also tried ejecting from Disk Utility but that will freeze the application. I can't force quit the Disk Utility application or even relaunch the Finder. The only way around is to go a hard reboot by holding down the power button.
    Every time a disk is in the drive I have to force reboot, this is fast becoming a major issue, the computer works flawlessly otherwise.
    I've read that it can be anything from bad RAM to a bad MB. Also, one last item to note, not sure if they're related but I tend to think so. When attempting to boot into the Hardware Test startup disk, the computer goes to the little wrist watch and never stops counting the minutes.
    This will also occur when using the boot manager to select a start up disk even without the DVD in the drive, so its not limited to the DVD selection. The computer again needs to be rebooted and I have to select a startup disk from the startup preference pane. Of course the Hardware Test disk does not show as a startup option.
    So, this is more than just an eject DVD issue, sounds more complicated than that. Also, just thought I'd mention the drive has been installed for over a year without issue, so its not due to a new piece of hardware.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Best DVD Burning Software for My Powerbook

    I just got a burner and was curious as to what the best software for burning was?

    The point is Popcorn does two things - compresses non-protected DVD media to fit a single DVD and some file conversions many of which you can cover with QT pro or MPEG Streamclip.
    Toast 7 does as well plus is a full service DVD /CD writiing program. Popcorn came out while Toast 6 existed which did not compress.
    For some reason Roxio still pitches Popcorn 2 and tries to sell it relentlessly to Toast 7 owners at a discount, which makes no sense. Since Toast 7 has the technology. I guess I should not be surprised as Roxio still pitches the new Toast 7 to people who already upgraded at a discount to Toast 7. From Roxio.
    As for a DVD burning program, it is not that at all - it is a MPEG-2 compressor and that is the extent of its value other than file conversions. You cannot make data discs or anything else since that would limit sales of Toast 7.
    The OP wanted a DVD burning program not a one hit wonder. Too bad you bought Popcorn, no need to flog it to people who want better.

  • Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

    Hi everyone,
    At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

    A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
    They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
    Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
    Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
    Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:

    That page also has a video of how to install a replacement DVD drive.

  • Best hd DVD burner software

    Which is the best third party software to purchase for my new iMac so I can make hd DVDs from iMovies. I didn't realise my iMac didn't come with a DVD burner app. thanks

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    Apple has clearly indicated in the newest Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to get rid of optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one.
    Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
    The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

  • DVD burner upgrade for pre 09 MAC Pro?

    We have a MAC Pro that we bought in 09. We are a communications/marketing company and I burn a lot of DVD's for commercials and such. The problem is, it takes at least 90 min to burn one full DVD. Can someone recommend a faster burner that we can use? Tech specs say the burner is 18x write. We use DVD -R
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP506   <-- tech specs.
    I don't know what version of the OS it is. I can find out if it helps.
    I appreciate any help!

    If that is your tech specs, you Mac uses a SATA DVD burner.
    Best Mac OS X support would be one that shipped in a Mac Pro.
    Good tech support would come from a Mac-centric company like OWC. their offerings are here:

    "Lightscribe" is a feature for machine-drawing on the label-side of special discs to create a human-readable label. I see it as needless complexity, and a distraction from the main functions required.

  • Since i don't have idvd on my new imac, what is the best alternative dvd burning program with similar features? (creating menus, elegant and easy to use, etc.)

    I just found out that Apple no longer ships a solo version of idvd with the new macs.  I used this program with my imac as it was simple and got the job done.
    In imovie, under "share" there is an option for idvd, but it isn't a program i can get into like the old one for menu creation, etc.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good reliable dvd burning program with menu creation features similar to idvd?

    Hi
    There are two answers
    A. No there are nothing like iDVD - at all
    B. read on
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac?  I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two.  I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

    I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
    I tried a few but no luck.  I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening.  If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
    Thanks so much!
    Cheers

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project.  In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417). 
    Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image.  Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation.  (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)

  • Best external DVD burner?

    I have the basic Macbook with the combo drive, and I'm considering getting an external DVD burner so that I can actually burn DVDs (which I didn't think I'd be doing originally, which is why I got the baseline Macbook...oh well) and to use for watching movies while at home to save wear and tear on my internal drive.
    I've heard a couple different things, that every external will work, that only some will, that the Sony burners work, that others don't... I know PC hardware backwards and forwards (used PCs for decades...but I'm much better now ) but as I'm new to Macs I want to make sure I do this right the first time. Can I get any old burner and stuff it in an external enclosure? Does it have to be FireWire, or is USB okay?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    It is an, "old," drive because it is a few years old, but I am using a Sony DRU-120A 5.25 inch half-height dive in an ADS brand firewire enclosure. Each item was about $40. Insstalling the drive in the enclosure was about a five minute task: snsp on the cables and install total of six screws. No special software is required with Tiger 10.4.8 and newer.
    The ADS enclosure is cool because it is translucent aqua plastic and complements the Apple design ethos. The ADS enclosure is exactly the same footprint as an even older Sony USB burner I have, and even the little rubbery stacking feet mesh between the ADS and Sony box. I'd hazard a guess that ADS was the OEM supplier for Sony back then.

  • Is a high definition DVD burner available for Mac's?

    I have a HD camcorder (Canon XHA1) and am using Final Cut express HD. I have been very disappointed in the results I have obtained when burning my Final Cut projects to a standard DVD.(After finishing my FCE project, I use IDVD to produce a disc image, then burn to a standard 4.7 GB Sony or Verbatim DVD-R) Many of my clients now have blu ray players and high def TV's and want their videos in high definition. Is a high definition burner available for a mac pro so that I can burn high definition discs?

    Thanks Tom for the link. However, I noticed when reading through the info about this blu-ray drive that it made no mention of being compatible with Final Cut Express HD or IDVD which is what I am currently using. I had considered upgrading to Final Cut Studio but it sounds like this drive is only compatible when used with Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore CS4. I am no techie, so pardon my ignorance about all this. Is Toast a "replacement" for IDVD? Could I use FCExpress (or FC studio if I upgrade) then burn the DVD using toast? Does Toast have menu templates like IDVD?
    If anyone has any experience using this blu-ray drive on their Mac with Final Cut and IDVD or Toast I would appreciate some input on what the exact workflow is and if the whole process has been a positive experience.
    Thanks so much for your help!
