Recording Information on a DVD

If you have an optional SuperDrive, you can record your own digital movies on a blank
recordable DVD disc. You can also record other kinds of digital data, such as backing up
files onto recordable DVD discs.

With applications like iDVD, you can create your own customized digital media project,
burn it on a blank recordable DVD disc, and play it on most standard DVD players.

To burn an iDVD project onto a blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW
disc:

1

Open iDVD and open your completed iDVD project.

2

Click the Burn button.

3

Insert a blank recordable DVD disc into the drive when prompted.

4

Click the Burn button again.

To record data on DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW discs:

1

Insert a blank recordable DVD disc into 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, then drag files and folders to it.

4

Click the Burn Disc icon beside the disc name in the Finder Sidebar.

For more information about how to use iDVD, open iDVD and see the onscreen help.

Important:

If your battery runs down when you are burning a DVD, the burn may fail

and the DVD disc will not be able to be used again. To avoid this, always use your
power adapter when burning a DVD.
