Why Open Source?
-
Most people use open source because it is free, but there are other reasons as well. If you are interested in programming, it may thrill you that you can download and modify your programs to do exactly as you wish.
Safety
-
Some developers of free software pay their bills by hiding advertisements, malware, and even viruses within their programs. They get away with it because the only mention of these unwanted programs is hidden in the middle of a long contract that must be accepted to use the software. However, since open source programs can have their programming code inspected and modified by anyone at any time and use standard user license contracts like GPL, this is much rarer.

Options
-
If you are a Windows user, you can choose between InfraRecorder and DVD Flick. InfaRecorder is designed to burn ordinary data to DVDs, while DVD Flick is designed to convert your home movies to DVDs that will play on any ordinary DVD player. Users of Linux can use the program K3b for KDE Desktop or Brasero for GTK.
