burning dvds in MAC Os 10.6.5 or higher

[daddyray]

I have found that dvd imager does not work with this version of the OS


I can create .dmg file or just use Burn of Mac and burn the VIDEO_TS files which are playable files here and there at my house.


BUT

I have a dvd player or two that will not read VIDEO_TS files to happily

So is there any freeware that will help me get back to making .img files which I can then burn in disk utility?
I like my current all region phillips dvd player but it is not cool with VIDEO_TS files


Just a few ideas and a question for the endless how to burn issues within this hobby.

[direwolf-pgh]

why are you converting the VIDEO_TS folder to an .img or .dmg and then buring to DVD?

VIDEO_TS folder > burn as data dvd

[daddyray]

because the phillips player I have will not read the straight VIDEO_TS file set...so when I plunk one of those dvds in I have to open the VIDEO_TS and run the .vobs which makes menus and navigation weird...
.img work great in that player...like a store bought
.dmg which I can make via disk utility act just like VIDEO_TS files I'd burn in Burn for Mac (which is where I make data disks)
capeesh?

thanks Wolf...I'll give that a shot..I fear the terminal a bit but what the heck.

[direwolf-pgh]

:) give it a shot.

here is the terminal command again
hdiutil makehybrid -udf-volume-name DVDNAME -o ~/Desktop/filename.iso ~/Desktop

Replace 'DVDNAME' with the name you want to want to assign to the disc. Replace 'filename.iso' with a name for a disc image generated by the command.

if all I get is an.iso file Iknow tose will have even worse issues in my playa.
I watch .iso on my macs.

[daddyray]

yep, that made an.iso file which also freaks out my all region player....I have a plan or two afoot.

[direwolf-pgh]

yeah, get in the car and go buy a decent dvd player :D

[daddyray]

I can work around this issue with only a small bother but it would be nice to have an all region bluray player which can handle VIDEO_TS files smoothly.

damn this hobby is a hassle some times.

I've heard this works quite well:
