Each control set in the Job Action tab is detailed below.

Add to iTunes Library
Use this form to automatically add output media files to iTunes.

Playlist pop-up menu: Choose a playlist in your iTunes library to add the output media file to.
Note: The first time you use this feature, this pop-up menu is empty. To populate this menu
with playlists from your iTunes library, choose Refresh from the Playlist pop-up menu.

Title field: Enter the title of the file as you want it to appear in your iTunes library.

Create DVD
Use this form to enter information and settings for the DVD you want to burn.

Output Device pop-up menu: Choose the device you want to format to. The pop-up menu
displays a list of your system’s suitable output devices, including optical drives and the
computer’s hard disk. Choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file that you can burn
to DVD media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the Utilities folder).
Other settings may change depending on the device you choose.

Important:

If a progress indicator appears next to the output device you selected, wait a

moment for the list of available devices to update. This can happen when you eject or insert a
disc or when you turn an optical drive on or off.

Eject button: Depending on your optical media drive type, click this button to eject optical
media from the drive or to open the drive’s media tray.
