Create DVD
Use this form to enter information and settings for the DVD you want to burn.
• Output Device pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose the device 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 open the drive’s media tray.
• Layers pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to specify the type of disc you are making.
• Automatic: Use this to have the type of disc you insert to be automatically detected.
You must insert the disc before clicking Burn for Automatic to work. Additionally,
Automatic always creates a single-layer disk image when Hard Drive is selected as
the output device.
• Single-layer: Use this to identify the disc as a single-layer disc. You can use this to
force a dual-layer disc to be treated as a single-layer disc.
• Dual-layer: Use this to identify the disc as a dual-layer disc. You can use this to force
the disk image to be formatted for a dual-layer disc when you choose Hard Drive as
your output device. Selecting “Dual-layer” when using a single-layer disc may result
in an error while burning the disc, depending on the project’s length.
• Disc Template pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose a menu template for the
DVD.
