A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings
before burning them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
●
DVD players used in home systems do not support all DVD formats. For a list of supported formats,
see the user guide that came with the DVD player.
●
An MP3 file uses less space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3
disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. MP3 files play on MP3 players or on
computers with MP3 software installed.
To burn a CD or DVD:
1.
Download or copy the source files into a folder on the hard drive.
2.
Insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive.
3.
Select Start > All Programs, and then select the name of the software you want to use.
NOTE:
4.
Select the kind of CD or DVD you want to create—data, audio, or video.
5.
Right-click Start, click Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to the folder where the source files
are stored.
6.
Open the folder, and then drag and drop the files into the drive that contains the blank optical disc.
7.
Initiate the burning process as directed by the program selected.
