Questions

Will my SuperDrive work?

Yes. Pyro works with Apple's USB SuperDrive and other CD and DVD drives. If System Information lists your drive under Disc Burning, Pyro can use it.

Which blank discs should I buy?

For music, CD-R: they play in almost every CD player. For files, any blank CD or DVD your drive can write.

Can Pyro copy a disc or burn Blu-ray?

No. Pyro burns new discs from your music, files and disc images. It doesn't copy discs, make video DVDs or write Blu-ray.

What if a file is over 4 GB?

Data discs can't hold a single file that big. Split it, or put it in a disc image and burn that.

How do refunds work?

Pyro is sold through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.
