Q. Does MacBurn support disc spanning?

A. No, but we are planning on including this in a future release.

A. MacBurn has the ability to select which burner you wish to burn with on machines with multiple burners, but does not have the ability to burn to multiple burners at the same time.

Q. My computer won't open MacBurn now, although it was working fine before?

A. Delete the "MacBurn Temp Folder" from your home user folder, and then Delete the file "MacBurnPrefs" from your /Library/Preferences folder located in your home users folder. Now re-start MacBurn.

Q. Does MacBurn support external CD-RW and DVD-RW, as well as FireWire and USB?

A. MacBurn will support any CD/DVD burner that is directly supported by Mac OS X. What this means is that a specific external burner may very well be supported. A good way to know this for sure is to see if you can burn using that drive from the Finder or iTunes applications.

Q. Does MacBurn allow you to burn multi-session DVDs?

A. Unfortunately, no. At this time burning multiple sessions to a single DVD-R is not supported by MacBurn.

Q. Can I create multi-session CDs that can be read on BOTH Mac and PC?

A. No, multiple sessions are only supported with Mac (HFS+) formatted CDs. Attempting to burn any other format of CD with multiple sessions can produce some rather strange results. Currently neither Apple nor Microsoft support PC formatted (Joliet or ISO 9660) CDs with multiple sessions.

Q. What's the best way to copy an audio CD using MacBurn?

A. In order to burn an audio CD with MacBurn the source audio files need to be available at the time of the burn. So, we recommend "ripping" the audio from the CD using an application like iTunes (or simply copy the audio files from the CD to any spot you wish on your hard drive). Then select Audio in MacBurn and add those audio files to MacBurn (such as by drag and drop). You can then simply re-order those files however you like by dragging them around.

Q. Is it possible to do multiple sessions with photo files?

A. Yes, just select "Mac" from the drop down box next to where you set the disc name in MacBurn and check the "Allow Additional Burns" on the burn options sheet.
