Recording Information on a DVD
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 a recordable DVD disc.
With applications like iDVD, you can create your own customized digital media project,
burn it on a blank recordable 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 When prompted, insert a blank recordable DVD disc into the drive.
4 Click the Burn button again.
Note: The SuperDrive can read and record on both sides of a two-sided DVD+R disc.
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
use.
3 Double-click the DVD icon that appears on your desktop, and then drag files and
folders to it.
4 Click the Burn Disc icon beside the disc name in the Finder sidebar.

Important: If your battery runs down when you are burning a DVD, the burn can fail
and the DVD disc will not be able to be used again. To prevent this, always use your
power adapter when burning a DVD.
