Recording Information on a DVD

If your eMac has a 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 (for
example, you can back up your files to DVD-R discs).

With iDVD, you can create your own customized DVD, burn it on a blank DVD-R disc,
and play it on most standard DVD players.

To burn an iDVD project to a blank DVD:

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.

To record data to a DVD-R disc:

1

Insert a blank DVD-R 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, then 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.
