Q: Dragon Burn 4.5 ?

Anyone using Dragon Burn 4.5 as an alternative to Toast ?

 

Performance Comments ?

 

Toast 11 is too expensive,  contains extra components I don't need, buggy installation, and lacks tech support.

 

I'm looking for something to burn data files and Quicktime video files to BluRay discs for archival storage.

 

Thanks in advance,

BoBo

    At that price ($39.99) I fail to see how you could go far wrong ! I have Toast 10 with BluRay plugin and it is rock solid reliable - so have no need to change but none the less it would be interesting to hear how you get on.

    For Data files you don't need any addtional software.  I installed a BluRay drive on a G5 under Leo and it burns just fine using OSX built in software - Finder Burn and DiskUtility. It just works.

     

    The Toast BluRay plugin is just for burning BluRay Video.

    I seem to remember a recent thread here where someone could not get this to work.  I'll dig around and see if I can find it (my memory may be faulty).   What bluray burner are you using?  Is it internal or external?  Did you need to install any drivers? 

     

    Thanks.
