Dragon Burn enables Macintosh computer users to quickly and easily begin producing audio, data, mixed-mode CDs and DVDs. Dragon Burn's Multi-Burning engine allows users to simultaneously write multiple CDs and DVDs from single or multiple sorces. It also fully supports the newest internal and external drives.Using Dragon Burn, Macintosh users can easily produce their own audio and data CDs and DVDs; mixed-mode and CD extra discs; and VCD and SVCD video discs. Users can mix and match AIFF, CDDA or Wave files to produce custom audio CDs. For CD and DVD data mastering applications, Dragon Burn fully supports ISO 9660 MS-DOS and Joliet, HFS (Mac OS) and HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) file systems. For Hybrid CDs and DVDs, users can select Mac OS and ISO 9660 file system combinations including data from previous ISO 9660 sessions.
For complete data protection and recovery, users can burn layouts to a disc or save them as complete disc image files. Using similar creation techniques, users can quickly and easily produce a backup copy of any CD or non-copy protected DVD.

"NTI's Dragon Burn provides what seems to be the first truly workable solution for the institutional use of CD/DVD burners available for the MAC OS environment."
eMedia -
"Dragon Burn for OS X offers nearly everything Toast 6 offers... since Dragon Burn sells for $49 and so does Apple's own iDVD, you can get all that functionality for the same price as Toast 6. There's finally another viable recording option for Mac users, and to that we can only say: It's about time."

"Nice simple and pretty interface, very informative display."
