<desc>Put files and documents onto a blank CD or DVD using a CD/DVD
burner.</desc>
</info>
<title>Write files to a CD or DVD</title>
<p>You can put files onto a blank disc by using <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui>.
The option to create a CD or DVD will appear in the file manager as soon as
you place the CD into your CD/DVD writer. The file manager lets you transfer
files to other computers or perform <link xref="backup-why">backups</link> by
putting files onto a blank disc. To write files to a CD or DVD:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Place an empty disc into your CD/DVD writable drive.</p></item>
<item>
<p>In the <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> notification that pops up at the
bottom of the screen, select <gui>Open with CD/DVD Creator</gui>. The
<gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> folder window will open.</p>
<p>(You can also click on <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> under
<gui>Devices</gui> in the file manager sidebar.)</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the <gui>Disc Name</gui> field, type a name for the disc.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Drag or copy the desired files into the window.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Write to Disc</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Under <gui>Select a disc to write to</gui>, choose the blank disc.</p>
<p>(You could choose <gui>Image file</gui> instead. This will put the
files in a <em>disc image</em>, which will be saved on your computer. You
can then burn that disc image onto a blank disc at a later date.)</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Properties</gui> if you want to adjust burning speed, the
location of temporary files, and other options. The default options
should be fine.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui>Burn</gui> button to begin recording.</p>
<p>If <gui>Burn Several Copies</gui> is selected, you will be prompted
for additional discs.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When the disc burning is complete, it will eject automatically. Choose
<gui>Make More Copies</gui> or <gui>Close</gui> to exit.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<section id="problem">
<title>If the disc wasn’t burned properly</title>
<p>Sometimes the computer doesn’t record the data correctly, and you won’t be
able to see the files you put onto the disc when you insert it into a
computer.</p>
<p>In this case, try burning the disc again but use a lower burning speed,
for example, 12x rather than 48x. Burning at slower speeds is more reliable.
You can choose the speed by clicking the <gui>Properties</gui> button in the
<gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> window.</p>
