SimplyBurns is a free alternative to DVD Flick for Mac OS X. It has 5 operation modes that empower you to burn videos/photos to DVDs, burn audio to CD, rip discs, and get the exact 1:1 copy content. However, it lacks very helpful features in specifically burn video files. It can't edit videos before burning and doesn’t offer a DVD menu option. Plus, the upgrades of this DVD Flick alternative are slow, so it doesn’t always support the latest systems like macOS Monterey and Ventura.

  1. Insert a blank disc.
  2. Click “Data” from the initial screen given when the software starts. dvd flick mac- simplyburns 01
