Re: DVD backup
I am no MAC expert, but most things are too easy. Have you tried to just insert a blank DVD and see what it says.

Re: DVD backup
I haven't used a Mac in about two years, but I thought I remembered just inserting the DVD and then dragging the files I wanted burned to the little DVD drive icon?
Edit: Did ya try this? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2087 |

Re: DVD backup
You insert a blank disc into the drive and the Finder is going to ask you, what to do with it. If you choose, that the Finder shall take over, the DVD will be mounted on the desktop and you can drag the files you want to burn onto the disk. Alternatively the Finder pop-up dialogue offers to use some software to access the DVD, like iDVD, iTunes or (if installed) Toast.

Re: DVD backup
Fran,
My guess is that your using the wrong type of disk. In order to burn a DVD (or CD for that matter), your burner has to support the type of disk your burning to. Not all burners support all formats. If your using a +R disk, switch to -R, or visa versa. These are the two most common types of DVD's. That should clear up your burner issue. |

Re: DVD backup
Thanks everyone.
I'll let you know if I have better luck. Incredible how this has me stumped though. Humbling. |

Re: DVD backup
WOw.
Put it in. Open in "FInder" and there it is on the desktop. Drag files on it and hit burn. THat is easy. Damn I astonish myself at how stupid I am sometimes. Worked like a charm. Now if it's possible to do this automatically through Lightroom, then I'd really be on to something. |

Re: DVD backup
Not a question of user capabilities,
rather a question about how windows perverted computer usage ! |

Re: DVD backup
the newer ones will burn both +/-R
ya, as noted above, slap in a DVD and you'll eventually see an icon come up called "Untitled DVD.fpbf" what i do is open a finder window and find the files i want burned and drag them over to the icon (you'll also see the icon in the finder window and can also drag to it).. when i have everything i want copied dragged i hilite the icon in the window and it shows me a "Burn" button.....click that, rename if desired in the new pop-up window and yer rockin' EDIT: damn, it only showed a few replies when i posted this.. all this work for nuttin'  __________________
