You don't need a burn folder. Put in a blank DVD, drag files onto it, and hit the burn icon next to it. You don't need a special program.

Well im most dissapointed with the speed that it writes at... i have a brand new imac 2.4ghz 4 gb ram, and it says max speed is 2x...to burn 4GB has taken an hour....

Is this right?
