CHAPTER 1 WORKING IN LEOPARD: THE AQUA INTERFACE
NOTE If you select more data than will fit on the disc you insert, you will get a warning telling
you that the data is “too large to fit on the disc.” OS X will ask you then to remove some data
and try again. You may need to use a larger disc (if you are using a CD-R try using a DVD-R
instead), or you may need to select less data at a time and make multiple burns.
Two other similar ways to burn data to a disc are to create a burn folder and to just insert a
blank, writable disc into the computer and select Open Finder in the Action drop-down menu
(Figure 1-17). You can create a burn folder by selecting File ➤ New Burn Folder from the Finder
menu or from the contextual menu. Then you can drag any files you want to burn into this
folder (which will automatically create an alias to the original). If you inserted a writable disc
and selected the Open Finder action, the disc will mount, and you can then drag any items you
want to burn on it onto the disc icon on the desktop. Either way, when you are done, you can
click the special burn button from either of these locations to start the burning process (see
Figure 1-18).

Figure 1-18. The burn button is in the upper-left corner of the Finder window. The information bar at
the bottom keeps track of how much space you will need on the disc to burn the items.
