![]() ![]() Mac users can also create a new burn folder from the File menu, or by inserting a blank disc directly into the Mac and choosing to open the Finder, and then dragging and dropping data onto that disc and choosing the “Burn” button in the relevant Finder window. ![]() Copying data to a USB flash drive does not require burning, as the flash drive maintains both read and write capabilities (unless it is specifically locked). If this idea of copying data to a physical device and sending it onward appeals to you, but you do not have a SuperDrive nor do you want to get one, you can always copy data to a USB flash drive and send that off or share that as well. Hand it off to a person, take it to another computer, drop it in the mail, send it via FedEx across the world, whatever you want to do. Once completed you can eject the disc from the Mac and share it as you would normally. Keep in mind that the amount of data you can burn to a particular disc will depend on the size of the files as well as the storage capacity of the target disc, and again a DVD will have more storage available (4.7 GB or so) compared to a CD (700 MB or so). Burning a CD is usually faster than burning a DVD, if for no other reason than a CD has less storage capacity than a DVD does. Label the disc you want to burn accordingly, and optionally choose a burn speed, then click on “Burn” to start the processīurning a disc can take a while depending on the speed of the drive, along with the size of the data being burned and copied to the disc itself.You’ll be presented with a “Burn Disc” window, when you see this, insert the blank DVD or CD disc into the drive.With the folder selected, pull down the “File” menu and choose “Burn ‘Folder’ to Disc…”.Select the folder you just created containing the files you wish to burn to the DVD / CD. ![]()
