In this post, I’ll show you a quick and simple way to burn a data disc on your Mac using no 3rd party applications. Mac OS X has built-in burning support to make things simple, what else would you expect from a Mac ?

So lets get started.

1. Right Click anywhere on your desktop. In case you don’t know how to right click with your mac, just hold down the control button and click with your mouse. A dialog box like the one below should show up, click on New Burn Folder 
   

   Apple - Click - New Burn Folder

2. This will create a new folder on your desktop, but not just any folder, this what Mac users call a burn folder. You’ll have to give this folder a name, the default is Burn Folder, I named mine My Stuff as illustrated below.

3. Double click on the new folder that was just created and it will open a dialog window similar to a regular folder dialog window. All we have to do now is drag whatever we want to burn into this window. I’ve dragged the osXposed logo into the dialog as illustrated below. One important thing to note here is that it actually doesn’t copy whatever you drag to that location, it simply creates a reference to the path of the file or folder that was dragged into the dialog box.

4. After you’re done dragging all the files and folders that you’d like to burn into the Burn Folder, the only thing left to do is click the Burn button on the top right corner of the Burn Folder dialog.
