Burn - an OSS alternative to Toast
Toast is great, and Mac OS X can handle burning a few types of CDs and disk images natively, but what if you need something in between Toast's $80 price tag and Mac OS X's basic burning abilities? Burn might just be the answer you need. This open source app can handle CDs, DVDs, VCDs, various data disk types, disk images and more. The source is readily available in case it's missing something, and both Mac OS X 10.3.9 and QuickTime 7 are required, though many features seem to be 10.4-only. Enjoy.

The only part of Toast I miss is Deja. Is there an open source version of that yet?

Do you have a link to the info on Disco, I was trying to use burn and it stalled before burning a data dvd for about a half an hour (I walked away from it), and would like to find out more about disco..

Actually, from what I understand, Burn lacks the ability to handle multi-session discs. From what the Disco guys are saying, multi-session discs are something they're fully supporting. Also, just by looking at the Burn site, it seems to be a little less refined in terms of features and looks. Just MHO, though.
I've never used Burn, and while I hear that some people like it, I personally am going to hold out for Disco. I prefer its UI, it's from a team of developers I trust, and if the feature set lives up to the hype, I think it's going to be a more complete package than Burn.

it exists, and is free.
dont get me wrong, im in for the $5 license of disco. i like well thought out apps, and theirs seems to be that.
How does this compare to Disco?
