Copying files to burning file for DVD

Hi all,

I don't know if any of you have encountered this problem -- I was trying to burn a DVD on my mac (leopard 10.5), and I just used the normal way to burn a DVD -- I pop a blank DVD in, select the file that I want to copy, copy it, and then paste it into the burning file. The file inside the burning file shows that it is only an archival file. I had delected it and tried it many times again with different files, and it still shows that it is an archival. (having the little arrow on it). I did not just drag the file to the finder, and do all the copy and paste, but it is still an archival. I have never encountered this problem before I upgrade to leopard. Anyone knows what's going on?

Thanks!

Sounds like you are creating alias' of the files. If I want to burn files, have always dragged to desktop, opened Toast and dropped the files on there and away they go.

Restore the file after burning completed.
