After that, insert your writable DVD and then choose "Output"-> "Device" or you can switch between the two output modes 'Device' or 'Image File', by clicking on the switch icon (see screenshot above). You can select the proper drive you are going to use if you have several drives installed. If you have several drives installed, you can select the desired one from

destination drop-down list.

Step 3: Burn the Disc
If you need to name volume labels, you can enter the text you want to use as name for the "Volume Label" for the various file systems by clicking "Labels" in menu bar: ISO9660, Joliet and UDF. (Check definition of volume label in "Tips")

Then by clicking on the "Burn" button, the building process starts with the writing to disc.

By clicking on the red cancel button in the right corner of the burning interface, you can select to either abort the current task or set it to pause.

Tips: Volume Label
A volume label is the name given to a specific volume in a file system. In the FAT file system, the volume label was traditionally restricted to 11 characters (reflecting the 8.3 restrictions, but not divided into name and extension fields) even when long file name was enabled, stored as an entry within a disk's root directory with a special volume-label attribute bit set, and also copied to an 11-byte field within the Extended BIOS Parameter Block of the disk's boot sector.
