Creating (burning) a CD, DVD, or BD

CAUTION:
to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films,
broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.
If your optical drive is a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software such as
Windows Media Player to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files.
Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD, DVD, or BD:
●
Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.
●
A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it
cannot be changed.
●
Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs.
●
A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings
before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
●
DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the user guide
that came with your DVD player for a list of supported formats.
● 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 can be played only on MP3 players
or on computers with MP3 software installed.
To burn a CD, DVD, or BD, follow these steps:
1. Download or copy the source files into a folder on your hard drive.
2. Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.
3. Select Start > All Programs and the name of the software you want to use.
