Newbie Question - Burn a folder without a "Burn Folder"

[rdean]

I think this is one of those obvious things that I am just missing.

I want to be able to just click on a folder (e.g. "Vacation Pictures") and burn it to CD or DVD for backup. Or even just pull the folder over to the CD/DVD drive to burn it. From what I can tell I always have to create a "Burn Folder" and then drag the "Vacation Pictures" folder to that and then click on the "Burn Folder" to burn my pictures to CD.

It is not that big of a deal, put I was just curious if there was a once step process instead of this multiple step process. Again, I am new to the Mac so maybe I am just not looking at with the right prospective. Maybe common practice is to have a generic "Burn Folder" from which to drag thing in, burn, and then delete out the alias, and then repeat for other folders?

Any advise would be great.

Thanks,
Richard

Never mind - I found it



I swear I actually looked for how to do this before I posted this question on the forum. I then changed my search criteria and found this article which explains how to do exactly what I was trying to do.

The funny thing is now that I know how to burn to cd with out a "burn folder", I see why the "burn folder" is so cool.

I've go to quit looking at everything on my new Mac with my old "Window's" glasses.
