In the screenshot shown above you will see that you’re able to choose between five different projects. These projects include: Audio Project, Data Project, Video Project, Disk Copy, and Burn Image. Under each one of these files project titles is a short description of what clicking on that button will help you do.

For example, if I wanted to burn an ISO image to a DVD so that I could install Ubuntu 13.04 I would click on the “Burn Image” option. Another example of this would be, if I wanted to create an audio CD that I can listen to in my CD player I would click on “Audio Project”.

Once you have clicked on one of the five projects to burn a CD or DVD you will be able to drag the contents of what you want to burn to that disk.
