Disco (software)

Disco is an application for Apple's Mac OS X developed by Austin Sarner, Jasper Hauser and Jason Harris. The software is an optical disc authoring utility, which allows users to burn CDs and DVDs with multisession support, disc duplication, burning VIDEO_TS folders, disc spanning as well as a searchable disc index, dubbed Discography. Disco also features an interactive "3D smoke" animation which is visible when burning. This smoke responds to microphone input, as well as mouse input, causing perturbations in the smoke effect. Disco was designed as a low-cost alternative to the popular Mac OS X CD and DVD authoring application Roxio Toast. Disco is available as shareware, which will block itself after burning seven discs.
