#2 SimplyBurns

OS requirement: Mac OS X 10.4 or macOS 10.13

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 Sonoma and Sequoia.

  1. Insert a blank disc.
  2. Click “Data” from the initial screen given when the software starts. dvd flick mac- simplyburns 01
  3. Drag-n-drop video files you desire to burn to the interface.

One of the best alternatives to DVD Flick for Mac, Xilisoft DVD Creator makes it easy to burn videos captured from iPhone, camcorders, DV, etc. to DVD. It supports burning HD videos like H.264/MPEG-4 and adds DVD menus. But the menu templates are not good-looking enough for young people.
