6 I entered “Test DVD” for the name of the DVD and Stuff for the contents.

7 At then end of the burn (which takes some while) “Untitled DVD drive” on your screen changes to “TEST.dvd.” I did two files: a screen shot and an mp4. They both appeared in the DVD.

8 Now I eject the DVD and load it into my old MS laptop. A folder labeled “Stuff.fpbf” (whatever fpbf stands for) is on the desk top and it contains the two files.

9 The files were there (on the DVD) in the PC. The mp4 played better when I moved it from the cd to the hard drive.

Is it easiest to open Finder, insert a disc then select what he wants to burn and drag them to a disc icon? drive ?

Yes, that's all you need to do. Insert a blank CD and use the Finder to copy the photos to the CD. Then drag the CD icon to the Trash and the iMac will burn the CD.

Might be easier to use Burn?

I meant exactly what I said.

When you drag an unburned CD to the Trash, you will see that the Trash icon changes to the Burn icon and it will burn the CD. After burning, the finished CD will still be on your desktop. You can then eject the CD.

So, the step by step is:

• Insert a blank CD
• A window will open, asking you if you want to open the CD with the Finder
• Click OK
• At this point there will be an "Untitled" CD on your desktop. (Depending on the version of OS X you are running this will be either a CD icon or a blue Folder icon with the burn image on the cover of the folder.)
• Drag the photos to the blank CD (Folder). Alternatively you can open a Finder window and drag the photos to the "CD drive"
• When you are ready to burn, drag the CD icon (Folder) that's on your Desktop to the Trash. As soon as you start to drag the CD icon (Folder), you will see that the Trash icon will change to the yellow-and-black burn icon. Drag it to the Trash.
• The CD will now get burned

The easiest way to me is to have him put the materials he needs to burn in a folder. Then, right click on the folder icon, and choose "Burn To Disk" from the popup menu.
