Recording Information on a DVD
With your SuperDrive, you can record your own digital movies on a blank DVD-R
(DVD-Recordable) disc. You can also record other kinds of digital data onto DVD-R discs (you
can back up files, for example).
With applications like iDVD, you can create your own customized DVD, burn it on a blank
DVD-R, and play it on most standard DVD players.
To burn an iDVD project onto a blank DVD:
1 Connect your PowerBook to its power adapter, so that the computer is not using battery
power.
2 Open iDVD and open your completed DVD project.
3 Click the Burn button.
4 Insert a new blank DVD-R disc into the drive when prompted.
5 Click the Burn button again.
You can also record data on DVD-R discs with Disc Burner.
1 Connect your PowerBook to its power adapter, so that the computer is not using battery
power.
2 Insert a blank DVD-R disc in the drive.
3 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.
4 Double-click the DVD icon, then drag files and folders to it.
5 Choose File >Burn Disc or select the disc and drag it to the Burn Disc icon in the Dock.

Center.
