10 Best DVD Burning Software For Mac And Windows – To Burn The Data

December 1, 2018 By Mary Duncan Leave a Comment

There is very little doubt that the age of DVDs has long passed.

In this day and age, most folks would prefer to store their files and media through USB drives and cloud storage services since they’re so much more convenient. However, there are still many people that use DVDs to save their files due to their reliability and a lesser chance of being damaged or corrupted. Using DVDs is also a good way to back up your files.

However, unlike a USB flash drive or cloud storage services, storing data on a DVD is a little bit more complicated. You need to burn the data on the DVD by using burning software. Of course, you will also need a DVD burner or writer hardware to burn files on a DVD.

If you are looking for the best DVD burning software for Mac and Windows, then you’ve come to the right place. Below, we have compiled some of the best DVD burning applications that you can use to burn your DVDs.

How We Chose Our Ratings

Rounding up the best DVD burning software is never an easy task. There is no shortage of software that you can find online, both free and paid programs.

So how do we decide if a software is worth your time and money?

You can trust we have done our homework and have tested each application to give you honest and accurate recommendations. We have taken into account some factors like features, ease of use, the design of the interface, price, and many others.

Also, we have considered the feedback of actual users for each program we tested. After all, if a program has worked great for many people, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a similar positive experience as well.

Top 10 Best DVD Burning Software for Mac and Windows

We’ll divide our recommendations into two sections, for Mac and Windows. Let’s get to it!

Best DVD Burning Software for Mac

Burn 

Burn

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

If you are looking for a no-fuss, easy-to-use DVD burner for Mac, Burn is an easy program to recommend.

Burn is a lightweight program but is surprisingly powerful. The program has four main modules: Data, Audio, Video, and Copy.

Data is for when you copy files from your computer to a hard drive. This is ideal for backing up files to a DVD. Audio is for creating audio DVDs and CDs resulting in a *.cda format, which you can play in your car and others. The Video module is for creating a DVD movie complete with interactive menus and themes. Copy is basically for “copy a disc or disc image to a DVD.”

One thing that I enjoy about Burn is the drag-and-drop interface which makes the software a breeze to use. You also don’t need to convert anything since the program does it for you during the burning process. Best of all, it’s free.

Disco App

Disco App

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

Disco’s main claim to fame is that the app actually emits smoke while you are burning a DVD or CD. It’s a completely superfluous feature but it’s still a nice touch.

Now for the features that are actually useful, Disco supports multisession burning and seamless disc-spanning (in cases where files are too big for a single CD or DVD), and provides a record of every session you’ve done so you can easily search and find the disc you want without going through your entire collection.

Disco also supports a wide range of CD/DVD types. The app supports CD/DVD-ReWritable discs for burning and erasing, even dual-layer DVDs. You can also create disc images from files and discs with formats like ISO, DMG, and CDR.

Unfortunately, Disco’s development has come to a halt since 2011. However, the app is still downloadable but it’s not guaranteed to work in all OS X versions. It’s a really great app if it works.

Disc Burner

RATING

$$$

We got another free DVD burning application for you.

The Disc Burner program by CentroMedia is another lightweight burner but not light in features. Their website might not be the prettiest but trust us when we say that Disc Burner is one of the best DVD burning software that you can get for Mac.

This is a fairly comprehensive burner that supports both CD and DVD for burning music, video, data, and photo. That’s right, Disc Burner can burn photos to a DVD disc although it’s no photo slideshow maker for the Mac. It’s a great way to back up and protect your photos via DVDs.

Disc Burner is quite straightforward to use, and the interface is a joy to navigate. Writing speed is also fairly decent and you can continue working while it burns in the background.

SimplyBurns

RATING

$$$

SimplyBurns is yet another free DVD burning program for Mac OS X users.

The SimplyB​​​​urns app is still labeled as beta but it’s a full-featured burning software and it works great. Upon launching the application, you’ll find five modules: Data, Audio, 1:1 Copy, Rip Disc, and Burn Image.

Of course, there are your usual Data and Audio burning functions for backing up your files and creating music discs. The application can also duplicate a DVD with just a few clicks. One interesting feature is the Rip Disc which basically copies or extracts the existing data on a DVD which you can save to your computer or flash drive.

Like all good DVD burning programs, SimplyBurns is very easy to use, thanks to its intuitive user interface. Writer speeds are pretty good and I’ve yet to experience an error while burning. Unfortunately, there’s no option to create DVD movies.

Toast 17 Titanium

Roxio Toast 17 Titanium - Complete DVD Burner & Digital Media...

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

Toast Titanium is one of the more popular premium DVD burners for the Mac.

As you can see, the Toast Titanium comes with a $ price tag but that also means it’s packed to the brim with features. Although many free apps can rival Toast’s burning features, the main strength of Toast lies in the video department. This burning software should be your go-to when it comes to making professional-looking DVDs with its advanced DVD authoring features. If you have the necessary hardware, you can also burn Blu-ray discs.

Toast has just about everything that you can get from a burning software suite. It can copy CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs. It supports MultiCam Capture and can record audio and video clips, and afterward, edit them using the same program.

Toast can also write encrypted data to a USB drive using the Roxio Secure Burn. This protects your private information with banking-level encryption (AES 256-bit).

Being premium software guarantees that the developers will support Toast Titanium by adding more features, releasing updates, and fixing bugs.

Best DVD Burning Software for Windows

Ashampoo Burning Studio 

Ashampoo

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

When it comes to apps and software, many people tend to gravitate to a program that looks good and easy to use. Ashampoo Burning Studio is one of those programs.

Ashampoo is a name that sounds rather silly but the software itself is top-notch. Once you see its interface, you’ll think that it’s paid software. Ashampoo features a beautiful, well-designed interface that looks modern and easy to use.

You have the usual features like burning data, music, movies, disc images, and others. You can also copy discs and erase rewritable discs using the program. When it comes to burning discs, Ashampoo delivers all the necessary goods which are more than you can ask for in free software.

The only downside that we can find is that the supported formats are rather limited. If you want more features, you can get the paid version of the tool for around $15.

ImgBurn (Free)

ImgBurn

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

ImgBurn is a very versatile disc image burning utility for the Windows platform.

If you are dealing with a wide range of disc formats, then you should definitely check out ImgBurn. Supported formats include BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG, and PDI. Plus, it can burn just about every digital media disc available from the classic CDs to Blu-ray.

ImgBurn offers plenty of options so it can become quite complicated to use. However, the interface is very simple with large graphic modules to help you out. It takes some getting used to but it’s really not that hard to use.

ImgBurn might not be the most user-friendly burning software out there, but that only means that this utility is deeply configurable. It offers a ton of features for the more savvy users. But that’s not saying that ImgBurn requires some coding knowledge because it’s still a fairly simple tool to use.

BurnAware 

BurnAware Pro

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

Here’s another free software for you that doesn’t scrimp on features.

BurnAware is a basic burning tool that supports CDs, DVD, Blu-rays and dual-layer media. With this tool, you can create music, video, data, and bootable discs, as well as work with disc images. These features are pretty standard for most burning software, but BurnAware makes it all accessible so it feels more than the sum of its parts.

The interface of BurnAware looks very clean and sparse which is exactly how we want it. You don’t want to work with a software with lots of clutter that only leads to confusion. The interface looks very simple and easy to get around, so you can work with your task quickly and efficiently.

Although BurnAware is free software, there are paid versions both for personal and commercial use. It’s slightly disappointing that it doesn’t have disc-to-disc copying, and you’ll have to get a premium version for that.

CDBurnerXP

CD Burner XP

QUALITY

PRICE

RATING

$$$

You are probably thinking, “why are you guys recommending a burning software for XP?” Although CDBurnerXP has an “XP” in its name, it’s fully compatible with the latest Windows 10.

CDBurnerXP will burn anything that you throw at it like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. If you have rewritable discs, you may also use the tool to erase data from the discs and burn brand-new data on them. It also supports disc-to-disc copying which is a nice touch for a free tool. ISO images are also supported so you can burn them to your discs.

Like most free software, CDBurnerXP looks very bare-bones with a fairly straightforward interface and few features. One drawback that we have encountered is that the utility requires the .NET framework which requires extra installation. Not really a big deal if you already have the framework installed on your PC.

Alcohol 120% DVD Burning

Alcohol-120

Back in the early 2000s, Alcohol 120% is a very popular DVD burning suite, and for good reasons.

Alcohol 120% DVD Burning is not free, but you can try out the tool with its free 15-day trial. When it comes to duplicating CDs and DVDs, Alcohol 120% is an amazing tool to use. However, it doesn’t have that many tools for creating discs from scratch. In fact, the steep learning curve of the software is its largest drawback. Performing the most basic burning task can be a challenge.

Alcohol 120% largely excels in copying DVD discs. We used the copy wizard to duplicate a DVD and the whole process took only a few minutes. Another good thing about Alcohol 120% is how easy it is to extract and create disc images like ISO. This can be a good thing if you’re looking to mass-produce DVD discs.

Burn Away

That wraps up our best DVD burning software for Mac and Windows.

As you can see, many DVD burning programs are free, so you really don’t need to spend a cent to create or copy DVDs. However, even the paid programs are certainly worth the investment if you’re looking for more features or for commercial use.

So what’s your best DVD burning software? Feel free to share your picks in the comments!
