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:

1Open iDVD and open your completed DVD project.

2Click the Burn button.

3Insert a new blank DVD-R disc into the drive when prompted.

4Click the Burn button again.

To record data to a DVD-R disc:

1Insert a blank DVD-R disc in the drive.

2In 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.

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

4Choose File > Burn Disc, or select the disc and drag it to the Burn Disc icon in the Dock.

For more information about how to use iDVD, open iDVD and choose Help > iDVD Help.
