my burning question

since im new to the Mac OS, I have a question about burning cd & dvds.

if you can already burn Cd's & DVD's (music,video or data) on a MAC, what good are software packages like Toast, etc... for burning discs?

Toast just offers more features, the ability to convert your video into DVD format etc. etc.

If you just want to burn data & audio CD's, the finder is great. If you want more flexibility and advanced control over your burns, get Toast.

the built in nburning features are great but you may come to realize after a while that a product, toast 7, is going to help you a lot. you would no longer need to shrink a dvd before you put it on a single layer dvd it does it for you, it burns s/vcd disks, data for mac and pc, disk images all with one click

A program like toast can help you format the disk a certain way... so yes more options like they have said.

Also, if your burning with itunes and the disk skips alot in your car, and you buy new disks and those still skip in your car.. toast burns it a little different (and probably faster) and it is less likely to skip.
