Hi,
Some features should be limited to uses in the free version of our software, and then I does require an upgrade. However, many features are free for ever. We are very sorry for the frustration and hope you understand. If you had a technical issue where you couldn't use any basic features, please contact our support team here: https://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html?software=ExpressBurn

Warning!

I really like this app. Have recommended to friends and a family member. Apple has announced end of support for 32 bit apps. This is not 64 bit compatible according to Apple’s information on my Macbook Pro.

Doesn't work unless you pay the $80 to get the full version. Not even limited use. Surprised Apple allows this type of scam into the App Store.

ImgBurn can write data from a variety of formats, burns audio CDs, ISOs, and video DVDs, including regular DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray DVD. As an added bonus, ImgBurn can read a disc to an image on your hard drive and build a disc image from files on your computer. It's fast, easy to use, and doesn't cost a penny. Incidentally, this app is still actively developed by the same developer who built the once very popular DVD Decrypter.

K3b (Linux)

Nero 9 is a shareware optical media authoring tool for Windows that's long been the go-to favorite for robust, user-friendly CD and DVD burning for a price. Detractors complain that Nero is slow and bloated (and the 370MB download, 2GB free space requirement, and long install time doesn't inspire confidence to the contrary), but fans argue that you can install only what you need from Nero and that its simplicity more than makes up for the bloat. Nero 9 is an $80 shareware (grab the trial here), Windows only, requires .NET 3.0. Linux users can give Nero Linux a go for $25.
