Do I need to buy software to to burn dvds with my MacBook Pro and an Apple super drive?

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. I haven’t received my SuperDrive yet but wasn’t sure if my MacBook contains the software already.

incidentally it’s running Big Sur OS. Does that make any difference?

Hi Froggie. Thanks for that, I’ve purchased the toast app and just trying to work my dopey way through it. I found it strange that it seams to have installed correctly but I never got asked to enter the product key. I’m wondering if it will ask for it before first use. Time will tell. So far so good. Thanks again to everyone who replied to my question.

Hi babowa,

Ok, thanks again but this is where I come totally unstuck. I will try to explain where I’m up to. I’ve bought the toast pro package because if I’m gonna struggle to learn one I might as well struggle with the best version. I downloaded the installer from the paperwork they sent and it asked me for the serial number, my details etc. 👍SFSG. Clicked next and it just opened the program. Now, I’m so thick that I might have missed something but I don’t have a clue how to get back to the beginning to put things right. Any suggestions🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤯🤯 please

Well I’ve just gone through the launch rigmarole again and it did exactly what it did the first time only this time it said that it was successfully installed so I assume that when I put the serial number in in the first place, that was the key. I’m going to have a good read of the Help pages just to make sure I’ve done the installation properly and see if it helps me to understand how to use it. If you know anybody who’s got a few Brain cells to spare I could do with a few. Thanks again you’ve been massively helpful. Can I just ask you if you are in England and if not, where in the world are you?

I had a feeling you weren’t in England because of the time on your messages. I just want to say a massive thank you yet again. I’m going to read through the Help files and the user guide and if it’s okay with you, I will let you know when I’ve burned my first DVD that plays successfully in an old fashioned dvd player.

Take care and stay safe. All the best to you.

Thank you for answering. You’re all very kind.

Thank you for your advice. I will look at “Toast” today and hopefully give it a try. No guarantees as I can be a bit thick. I’ll post my result in due course.
