1Open iDVD and open your completed iDVD project.

2Click the Burn button.

3Insert a blank recordable DVD disc into the drive when prompted.

4Click the Burn button again.

3Double-click the DVD icon, then drag files and folders to it.

4Click 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.
