    The Finder can burn files to CD or DVD. You can then use this disk as a backup, send it to friends or copy files to another computer. Mac OS X burns discs that can also be used on Windows computers and other computers. Thie disc uses an HFS Plus / ISO 9660 hybrid with these file systems: HFS +, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge and Joliet with Rock Ridge. If your computer has a Combo drive, you can burn files to CD. If your computer has a SuperDrive, you can burn files onto CDs and DVDs.

    After you drag items to the disc, the Finder places aliases in the disc window. When you burn the disc, the original files that the aliases point to are burned to the disc. Also, if any folder in the burn folder contains aliases, the original files for those aliases are burned to the disc as well.

    It gives you three options for the preparation of a blank CD for burning: Standard (HFS Plus / ISO 9660), iTunes (audio CDs) and MP3 (ISO 9660). Choose Standard format to save the data or multimedia files on your CD. A file in a standard CD format can be read on PCs and Macintosh computers, using any application that can recognize the file format. Standard format also lets you use long file names and file names international, and allows the encoding of larger files.
