I just switched and I'm wondering where the CD/DVD burning software is in MacOSX - Or do I need to buy new burning software for the Mac?

If there is burning software: How do I burn an ISO/image with it?

Thanks.

You are looking for Disk Utility. It's in /Applications/Utilities. You can burn data discs and stuff. I'm not sure if you can burn ISOs with it.

I recommend Toast which is the definitive 3rd party burning software on the Mac.

Looking it up, it appears Disk Utility will burn ISOs if they are already in image form. It just won't burn FAT16/32 volumes.

Yah, I did open DU and I saw the "Burn" and "Create New Image" buttons, but I want to open an image that I've created - I'll try puttng a CD in and see what happens.

Cheers.
