    You don't 'format' DVDs.

     

    What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    Hi

     

    Do You want -

     

    * Data-DVD - for storage of documents, photos and movie materials - this do not play on any standard DVD-Player

     

    * Video-DVD - to be played on standard DVD Players

     

    Data-DVD - just pop in a new empthy DVD and move material to it on DeskTop. On Eject it will burn data to it. NO incremental Burns are possibly on a Mac - without very special programs.

     

    Video-DVD - You need a DVD-authoring Program as iDVD or DVD Studio Pro or Compressor (and lot's of KnowHow) or Roxio Toast or Burn.

    Start Program

    Add material - movies/slideshows etc

    Click on Burn button

    ON REQUEST - Now first put in a blanc (New) DVD disk.

     

    Yours Bengt W
