Disc Burning Quick Assist
You easily burn toast, but you can't figure out how to burn a disc. Whether you want to have a tangible copy of your GarageBand masterpiece, back up your files, or share your epic movie-making mastery with couch potatoes around the world (or at least your non-critical friends and family), creating a CD or DVD of your work is a common rite of passage in every Mac user's life.But if burning a disc conjures up images of flaming rounds of plastic, this handy guide will show you how to create your own CDs and DVDs and help you troubleshoot any issues that may occur. All you need is a disc drive that can record the type of discs you want to burn.Apple Combo Drives can burn information on CD-R or CD-RW (rewritable) discs. Apple SuperDrives can burn data to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs—some of the latest SuperDrives may also burn to DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL discs (see your product manual for specifics). Be sure that you only purchase recordable discs that work with your disc drive. For information about your particular disc drive, consult your Apple or third-party product manual.
