As an open-source tool, it offers the source code for downloading, redistributing, modifying, copying, and so on, as long as you keep the license intact. But DVD Flick hasn't been upgraded for many years. The latest version- 1.3.0.7 was released in 2009. So inevitably, there will be large or small problems.
Actually, there are plenty of popular DVD Flick alternatives for Windows, such as ImgBurn, Ashampoo Burning Studio, WinX DVD Author, but few DVD Flick for Mac programs. According to the features and tutorial of DVD Flick, in this part, we have carefully selected the following three alternatives for Mac.

The best alternative to DVD Flick Mac is named Cisdem DVD Burner. It's equipped with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes it possible to burn video to DVD in several clicks. The DVD Flick alternative supports a long list of video formats and lets you perform optimal DVD burning with high quality. Moreover, it has many kinds of menus for you to make a personalized video.

Click the pencil icon under the video thumbnail waiting to be burned and an editing window will appear. You can crop/rotate the video, apply effects, split a video into chapters, or insert watermarks to customize and enhance your video.
The editing function that DVD Flick doesn’t have is optional for you.
Head over to the "Menu" tab and pick a DVD menu template for the theme of classic, cartoon, scenery, etc. from the right panel.
If you don't want to choose the menu template from this DVD Flick alternative, check the box next to "No menu" or click the button to upload your own picture as a background.
Click the “Preview” icon to see what it looks like. When you're pleased with the preview result, plugin a blank DVD into your Mac drive.
Hit the icon. Select the output format and finish DVD settings. It’s important to choose the correct TV standard in your country. For example, if you are from the USA, Canada, Japan, use NTSC. From Europe, Australia, use PAL.
After that, click “Burn” to make a DVD with the DVD Flick for Mac alternative.
OS requirement: Mac OS X 10.4 or macOS 10.13
SimplyBurns is a free alternative to DVD Flick for Mac OS X. It has 5 operation modes that empower you to burn videos/photos to DVDs, burn audio to CD, rip discs, and get the exact 1:1 copy content. However, it lacks very helpful features in specifically burn video files. It can't edit videos before burning and doesn’t offer a DVD menu option. Plus, the upgrades of this DVD Flick alternative are slow, so it doesn’t always support the latest systems like macOS Sonoma and Sequoia.
OS requirement: Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.14 (32 bit) / Mac OS X 10.9 - 10.15 (64 bit)
One of the best alternatives to DVD Flick for Mac, Xilisoft DVD Creator makes it easy to burn videos captured from iPhone, camcorders, DV, etc. to DVD. It supports burning HD videos like H.264/MPEG-4 and adds DVD menus. But the menu templates are not good-looking enough for young people. And sometimes this DVD Flick alternative closed by itself while making DVDs.
Yes, the DVD Flick alternatives for Mac introduced above are safe. There is no bundled software, malware, or spyware. Anyway, you'd better download the installer from their official website or the reliable software download sites like MacUpdate, Cnet, Softonic, plus more.
