Can anyone tell me what finder burning is? I have been reading the comments, but don't know what it means.
Under OS X and OS 9 with Disk burner and authoring extensions installed, you can put a blank CDR, CDRW, DVDR and/or DVDRW into your mac (depending on the capabilities of your drive), and it will appear on your desktop like a disk you can write to. Drag files to it, save files onto it, etc, then when you drag it to the trash the OS burns the disk before ejecting.
Advantages: free, comes with the OS. Easy, if you can use a floppy disk, you can burn a CD. Under OSX it creates hybrid disks readable by Mac and PC (and Linux, etc)
Drawbacks: only supports single session disks, limited number of supported drives (though far more so in OS 9 than OS X), lacks the many customization features of Toast.
