Superb simple and effective DVD/CD burner
When I first got my Mac, Burn was one of the first applications I installed. I don't need lots of fuss and bloated burning applications when I want to burn a disc - I just want something that's going to do the job quickly.
If you're the same, then you'll love Burn. Burn is a super lightweight and simple application to burn audio, video and data disks and disk images and copies. Burn handles all major formats including HPS+, UDF, Joliet, DVD Video, VCD, SVCD, Divx, Cue/Bin and Toc. Burn handles everything from burning Audio CDs and MP3 disks to video disks such as VCD, SVCD, DVD and DivX disks.
Burn also allows you to burn three kinds of images: normal disk images, cue/bin images and TOC images. In addition, you can perform a simple copy of a data disk. Be careful when burning DivX disks though that you've selected the option "Create a fully compatible DVD Disk" and obviously select the Video tab. I failed to do this and couldn't understand why my DivX films would not play back on my DVD player.
Simple, no fuss and brilliant at what it does, Burn should come as standard with Mac OS.

Will not play in my car or stereo.
I've tried it however it still will not play in my car or stereo? Then I went to Total Video Converter, which is simple and intuitive and truly works! More

Movies don't play in dvd players..
I've burned many movies using this program, sadly none of them played in any dvd players. Waste of time.

Doesn't work on Montain Lion.
Used to work flawlessly under Lion, but on Mountain Lion it crashes whenever you try to burn a video dvd file. Lost a few dvd medias to realize it.
Pros:
easy interface
free
Cons:
update to work on Mountain Lion More

decent burning, worst track-arranging interface ever.
I downloaded the program about an hour ago and found this simple shortcoming (see below) so stupid, I decided to take the time to write this review. This program is probably good for copying a cd, where the track list is already set up.
Pros:
seems to do fine at the actual cd burning part
Cons:
Burn has zero flexibility on the track arranging screen. You can't rearrange tracks once you have dragged them into the project, and the function to remove tracks from your list doesn't work. You actually have to close the program, open it again, and start a new list if you want to make a change. For such a simple program, this drawback is completely stupid and amateurish! More
