Does any software come with the G5 that allows you to burn to CD / DVD? (Besides iDVD of course?)

I'm just wondering if I should plan on buying Toast or not.

If so ... where is the cheapest place to get toast?

You can burn directly in the finder or from the Disk Utility (for Images and .dmg's and such). Just insert blank DVD, name it when prompted and drag files on. For burning movies, youll need Toast or a program like FastDVDCopy.

Thanks! I'm not sure why I didn't think of that.

(I appreciate the reply)

Also, with toast you can burn more than one session (disk utility does not do this), meaning you can get more life out of a cd instead of only filling part of it and wasting the rest of the space. If you get toast, I do not see why toast 6 is better than toast 5, so if you can get a deal on 5 then get it.

Thanks for the tip on Toast 5.

Toast 6 has a few additional features which I find helpful. Primarily it will encode and DVDs, or it can just mux and burn an mpeg 2 and an ac3.
