The iMac with SuperDrive was the
first affordable, start-to-finish consumer DVD authoring and recording
system anywhere. And since the SuperDrive-equipped iMac ships with
Apple’s famously easy-to-use iDVD software preinstalled, you can start
burning your own DVDs from day one. What the SuperDrive is up toAn industry-standard drive that reads dozens of standard CD and DVD formats, the SuperDrive writes DVD-R discs at up to 4x speed, reads DVDs at up to 8x speed, writes CD-R discs at up to 16x speed, writes CD-RW discs at up to 8x speed and reads CDs at up to 32x speed. It’s hands down the easiest way to author CDs and DVDs that are compatible with most professional and consumer players, and that you can share with PC users as well. The SuperDrive supports DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-R, as well as CD-ROM, CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, CDI, CD Bridge, CD Extended, CD Mixed Mode and Photo CD media.  Out-of-the-box
DVD authoringiDVD gives you a simple one-window interface for putting together a DVD that holds up to 90 minutes of movies or thousands of digital images. iDVD accepts QuickTime files (digital video, audio and stills) as input, and makes any number of clips, menus and slide shows, as well as clickable buttons for navigation. You can create menus with up to six navigation buttons over full-motion backgrounds. iDVD comes with an array of professionally designed themes, and also enables you to create your own themes. The MPEG-2 encoder in iDVD and the Mac OS X architecture combine to provide faster than real-time encoding and accelerated DVD recording. Data archiving on CD and DVD The SuperDrive is also ideal for doing regular backups. CDs can hold up to 650MB of data, more than 450 times as much as a floppy disk. DVDs can store 4.7GB of data, the equivalent of about 7 CDs, 18 Zip 250 disks, or 3200 floppy disks. With this kind of capacity, you can easily back up your entire digital photo collection and your collection of MP3 files — and keep them safe for years. |

Faster read and burn ratesYour SuperDrive equipped iMac lets you read and burn both CDs and DVDs that can be played in most consumer DVD players. The SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) reads DVD titles at up to 8x speed and writes to 4.7-gigabyte DVD-R discs at up to 4x speed. The SuperDrive also reads CDs at up to 32x, writes to CD-R at up to 16x and writes to CD-RW at up to 8x. 
 Disc burning made simpleYou want to spend your time being creative, not on poring through manuals to puzzle out how to make your tools work. We understand. That’s why data disc burning is integrated into Mac OS X with the Disc Burner feature. Simply drag your files onto the disc icon, and Mac OS X takes over from there, automatically burning the disc before ejecting it. |
