Using Your Optical Drive
You can install or use software from CDs using your optical drive and from DVD discs if
your computer has a Combo drive. You can play multimedia on CD discs and music
from audio CDs. If your iBook G4 has a Combo drive, your optical drive can also write
music, documents, and other digital files onto CD-R and CD-RW discs, and play DVD
movies and use most DVD discs. If you have an optional SuperDrive, you can record
DVD movies and other information on DVD-R discs.
Important: The optical drive on your iBook G4 supports standard circular 12 cm discs.
Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm are not supported. Noncircular
discs may become lodged in the drive.
