This is actually quite a simple task yet I’ve received several emails recently about how to burn an ISO to disc in Leopard OS X. I totally understand the reason for this question from the general OS X user because to do this you have to know the tool to use and normally it is used by the intermediate/advanced user.

So, how do you burn an .iso image to a CD or DVD in OS X?

Insert the CD/DVD into your Mac, locate your .ISO image and follow these very easy steps:

Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities and run Disk Utility (Disk Utility.app)

In Disk Utility, go to File > Open Disk Image and select the .ISO you want to burn to disc

Now click Burn

Thats it! Now you should see a little box pop up with the status of your ISO image being written to the disc.
