Recording Information on a DVD

If your Mac mini has a SuperDrive, you can record your own home movies on a blank DVD±R or DVD±RW disc. You can also record other kinds of digital data (for example, you can back up your files).

To record data to a DVD-R disc using the Finder:

1Insert a blank DVD±R or DVD±RW 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.

You can also use iDVD to create your own customized DVD, burn it on a blank DVD disc, and play it on most standard DVD players. For more information about how to use iDVD, open iDVD and choose Help > iDVD Help.
