Recording Information on a DVD
If you have a SuperDrive, you can record an interactive DVD using your own digital
movies and a blank DVD-R (DVD-recordable) disc. You can also record other kinds of
digital data to DVD-R discs; you can back up files, for example. However, once you
record information on a DVD-R disc, it cannot be overwritten.
With applications such as iDVD or DVD Studio Pro, you can create your own customized
DVD project, burn it on a blank DVD-R disc, and play it on most standard DVD players.
To burn a disc with iDVD:
1 Open iDVD and open your completed DVD project.
2 Click the Burn button.
3 Insert a new, blank DVD-R disc into the drive when prompted.
4 Click the Burn button again.
