Recording Information on a DVD
If you have a SuperDrive, you can record your own digital movies on a blank DVD-R,
DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, or DVD+R DL disc. You can also record other kinds of
digital data (for example, you can back up your files to DVDs).
To record data to a blank DVD:
1 Insert a new blank DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, or DVD+R DL disc in the drive.
2 In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the disc and select the format you want to
create. An icon for the DVD appears on the desktop.
3 Double-click the DVD icon and drag files and folders to it.
4 Choose File > Burn Disc or select the disc and drag it to the Burn Disc icon in the Dock.
With applications such as iDVD or DVD Studio Pro, you can create your own customized
DVD project, burn it on a blank DVD disc, and play it on most standard DVD players.
For more information about iDVD, open iDVD (in Applications) and choose Help >
iDVD Help.
