When you create a disc using Finder,
by Forum moderator Dec 22, 2011 10:20PM PST

the icon of the disc appears on the desktop.
When you drag your files or applications to the disc, all you will see when you open the disc is a bunch of shortcuts.
This is normal.
These short cuts indicate to the Finder exactly where the files you want to burn are located.
