Supported Drives
All Apple-shipped drives are supported (This includes most Pioneer drives).
If your drive isn't supported by OS X, download PatchBurn, and have it generate a profile for your drive.
Applications with Disk Burning support
Finder
Insert a CD or DVD, and it'll show up on the desktop. Copy files to the disk (this takes a while, since it actually copies the files to a disk image) and drag it to the trash can, which turns into a "Burn" icon.
iTunes
With iTunes you can burn Playlists as Music CDs, MP3 CDs (for portable MP3 CD players) or data CDs containing mp3 files.
Disk Utility
Disk Utility lets you create and burn disk images (including ISO and other disk image formats)
iDVD
iDVD uses Disk Burning support to burn your DVDs
iPhoto
DVD Studio Pro
DVD Studio Pro uses Disk Burning support to burn DVDs directly.
Tips and Tricks
Burning a VIDEO_TS folder
Drag and drop your VIDEO_TS folder onto DVD Imager, tell it to create a UDF disk image, and burn the resulting image with Disk Utility.
Converting DMG to ISO files
Run Damage Isolation, and drag whatever dmg you want to make an iso file out of onto its dock icon. By default, it'll create the new file in the same folder as the original one.
