Run PowerISO.
Click on the "New" button on toolbar, then choose "Data CD / DVD" from the popup menu. This will create an empty compilation. If you want to create a UDF DVD disc, please choose "UDF DVD" from the popup menu.

Click on the "Add" button on toolbar to add files and folders. You can select files and folders in the "Add files and folders" dialog, then click "Add" button to add selected items to current compilation.

You can directly drag files and folders from Windows Explorer to the PowerISO window. CTRL-C and CTRL-V can also be used to add files to current compilation.

* Choose the menu "Action > New Folder" to create a new empty folder under current folder.
