Best DVD/CD burning software

I am new to Mac's. Can anyone tell me what the best burning software is right now? Thanks

Hi sctrojans1
As mentioned by others here, Roxio Toast is the most comprehensive software for cd/dvd burning, but before you go get it, you might want to try a pretty slick little shareware application that does a lot for the price (25 bucks). Like Toast, it will do incremental backups on cds and on dvd+rw disks. I've used it for over a year and am very satisfied with it. You can get a trial version here:

  • BEST DVD TO IPOD SOFTWARE

    Does anyone have an opinion on the best DVD to Ipod software to purchase? I've tried the trial versions of PQDVD, Xilisoft, and Cucusoft and have found problems and numerous differences with those. If there are any others out there please let me know that may be better/easier/higher quality, etc.. Also, I am trying to convert home movies that are on DVD-R's, it seems as though PQDVD can sometimes convert them, but they freeze up or don't show up at all on the others. A regular DVD was no problem on any of them. Thanks!

  • Re-installing iTunes to install DVD/CD burning software

    When I load iTunes, a message come up saying that there is no component to allow DVD/CD burning....could be cause by installing other DVD/CD burning software and to re-stall iTunes. I have re-installed twice and re-booted and still get the same error message. I am trying to back-up my iPod library and can't burn to disk through iTunes. In addition, I find that my iTunes library now has about 40% of the tunes with an exclamation point next to the song list and if I try to play it, as error message comes up saying file can't be found. That's why I want to back up my iPod before I try to load my music from my iPod back onto my computer. HELP! Any ideas about how I can solve these problems?
    Thanks

  • The Best DVD ripping/burning/converting software

    I have herd alot about this Mac the Ripper deal but am having real trouble laying my hands on it. Is there perhaps other software that may allow me to Rip/Burn/Convert at my leisure, or will I have to resort to boot camp and Alcohol 120%? Thanks y'all

    I certainly hope you're ripping your own DVD's, and not those belonging to, say, your friend, NetFlix, or your local video store.
    Anyway, I very highly recommend using HandBrake to convert the DVD video into something more suitable. Just pop in the disc and play with the settings. It comes pre-loaded with presets for creating video for the iPod, tv, and PlayStation 3. (An XBox 360 preset is in the works.)
    I personally recommend AVC/H.264 video (set to constant quality: 64%) with AAC 5.1 sound (set to 384 Kbps). It's a slow encoding process, but you'll be impressed with the output -- more so if your Mac is hooked up to an HDTV and home theater system.
    If your legally-purchased DVD has encryption that HandBrake can't handle, then download MacTheRipper, and use that to extract a clean VIDEO_TS folder; then point HandBrake to the VIDEO_TS folder.

  • Faulty DVD Drive/Burning Software?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro and for some strange reason, the DVD drive or the software won't burn any DVD's I try to make. In iDVD, during the burning stages it get to the very near last stages of burning and then it ejects it before it has actually completed burning, thus giving me a blank disk. Also I have Final Cut Pro X which for some reason won't burn onto the DVD's as well. It says that it doesnt like the disk I used. However before it had this issue it was alright using the disk. The software had did have an update bhack in march/april and since that update it hasnt been the same since. The DVD's I have tried to use are Sony DVD-R 4.7GB. I would like some information or advice that could help reslove my problems if possible?

    Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
    Go to your OS Help Menu.  In the search field type dvd
    Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to  your issue.
    You can also do the same in Disk Utility.  Open same up.
    At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
    This will bring up the Help Menu.

  • Best dvd authoring/burning for mountain lion/MacBook Pro

    We've just recently obtained a used MacBook Pro that did not have iMovie and iDvd originally loaded on it.  We have purchased iMovie for it, but now need a app for authoring and burning DVDs, since, evidently, obtaining iDVD for it is not possible.  OS is Mountain Lion.  Was hoping for some recommendations, reasonable price, number and variety of templets for main menus, quality of created DVDs, that kind of thing.  Any suggestions appreciated.
    Dale

    Roxio Toast Titanium is pretty decent for that sort of thing.

  • Need Sonic DVD/CD burning software

    My Equium laptop came with Sonic burning s/w pre-loaded. Unfortunately my PC has Nero which is notoriously fickle when paired with XP. Does anyone know where I can download the Sonic s/w to my PC so that I can transfer data on disc between the two? [I know I can e-mail it if all else fails but I would like to be able to burn and shar discs between the two.
    AL

    Hi
    In my knowledge the Sonic software is a part of the Toshiba recovery CD and its not possible to download the full version from the web.
    If you want to use it you have to recover the notebook but you will lose the previous OS, data and files.
    PS: I use the Nero with WinXP and Im satisfied no problems at all.

  • Best DVD burner software for mac

    I have made some simple movies I want to burn to DVD with menu options.  What is the best (at a reasonable cost) burner softwar to puchase. Have done some research and read the reviews but still confussed.

    Handbrake to copy to avi or mp4(I use it for watching my DVD's on the go, so my battery lasts for a longer time)
    I think MP4 is better quallity.
    To copy a DVD: simply use Toast (maybe withe popcorn, but I don't use it).
    But, be legal! This is a forum, and anyone can see your posts!

  • 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.

  • Best Speed 2 Burn DVD's?

    Hello,
    I just replaced my G4's CD-R with a DVD-R. I've read posts offering conflicting advice on the best 'speed' to burn important backup disks. Does anyone know if there's solid info available regarding this question?
    Also, is there some kind of software that can check the 'quality' of the burn?
    Thanks for your time.
    J.C.

    Many G4 Macs were designed before there were fast DVD burners, and use a slow speed ATA bus for the optical drive, and can't send data fast enough to burn over 8X. If you try to burn at 16X, the drive will run out of data and reduce speed, or even worse, go into stop and start mode. This can make a burn slower than at 8X. On my Quicksilver, I could see the drive's LED through the crack in the door, and it would be on solid at 8X, but start flashing at higher speeds. A DVD burned at a steady 8x is probably more reliable than one burned in spurts of 16X.
    All the OSX burning application (Finder, iTunes, Disk Utility) let you set burn speed, except iDVD. It can be used to create a disk image file, which can be burned ay a controlled speed with Disk Utility.

  • Has anyone used Wondershare DVD burning software on Mountain Lion please?

    Have uopgraded to Mountain Lion and therefore lost iDVD.  Is Wondershare DVD burning software linked to iMovie effective please?

    Yes we had this issue too over a year ago and decided to research what would be the best alternate. We came up with Wondershare, see here http://www.burnworld.net/mac/wondershare-video-converter-ultimate-review.html

  • When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message  "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software  Please reinstall

    When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
    "The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
      This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
    To my knowledge no new software has been installed.  I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
    get the same message.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Do I need to download a new driver?
    Bill Martin

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
