Burn for MAC

Free, open-source disc burning app for Mac: create data, audio and video CDs and DVDs, and copy discs or disk images.

Burn Overview

Burn is a disc burning app for Mac that keeps things simple while still offering plenty of advanced options. You can use it to put files on a disc for safekeeping, make audio CDs, create video discs to share with family and friends, and copy discs you already have. It works by dropping files into a list for the kind of disc you want, and it converts your audio and video files to the right format for you, with quality and size options in its preferences.

Burn is free and open source under the GPL-2.0 license, and it relies on free tools such as ffmpeg, lame, vcdimager, dvdauthor, spumux and mkisofs. The app's copyright line reads Kiwi Fruitware. Version 3.1.9 is a small release that fixes a crash on Mac OS X 10.9. It is a universal app that runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 10.9 or later. Burn writes physical discs, so you need a CD or DVD writer connected to your Mac to make use of it. If you have only one drive, you can still copy a disc, because Burn saves it temporarily first.
