Title: Burning ISOs in OS X
Post by: SAJChurchey on 8 April 2003, 03:43
What software does one recommend for buring ISOs?  OS X terminal doesn't seem to have cdrecord, which is what i usually use in Linux.  I'm downloading RH 9.0 here in the lab and need to burn it off tonight after download.

Preferrabley i need something i can install then uninstall, more or less freeware, or something you don't mind me pirating for an hour at most. :)

OS X can't burn CDs out of the box?  I didn't know that.

Of course it can! SAJ, have you tried Disk Copy under Utilities? This page might also be of help. (http://www.asia.apple.com/macosx/theatre/discburner.html)

Sorry I can't help more, but my iBook has a CD drive only.

yeah. put a cd in the drive, a window will open up asking what you want to do. if you want to burn an iso, open disk copy. it will then ask for the location of the iso. its pretty easy. you could also open finder to create a data cd, or itunes to create a music cd.

Thanx for the tip,

Don't mind me, I'm a Linux person, and am learning OS X myself.

wow that was a bad comment.  I thank your for your help but so far my experience with burning CD's in linux has been slightly harder than easy, unlike on my Mac.  Disk Copy is the correct program to use.  That is how I burned my RH9 2 days ago.

Xcdroast doesn't have the best interface.  K3b is the program I use, and it is extremely easy!
