Adding disc image to Disc Utility window?

Hi there,
I'm trying to burn DVD masters from previously created .cdr files. For some odd reason only a couple of the .cdr s are visible in the Disc Utility window. I've tried dragging the ones I need from a Finder window into the DU window where the others are, according to instructions...
If the disk image you want to use doesn't appear in the list, drag its icon to the Disk Utility window.
... but the images just bounce out. I can drag the ones that are in the DU window out and that throws them away, but can't add it back in then again. Huh?
What am I missing?

Thanks. That seems to work! A bit different than what the Help File instructs you to do though. The strange thing is that some of the .cdr s can in actual fact be dragged in but others cannot. Even thought they were all created by DU and some even during the same work session.
Anyhow. I'm up and running again. Thanks!
PS: what does IIRC stand for?

Getting medium write error on burning a disc image using Disk utility

Have a MacBrook Pro 15 inch, circa Summer 2007, using OX 10.4.11. up until recently (as in before February) have been able to burn DVD's using Toast (message Medium Writer Error). Started getting problems where the burn failed. Thought maybe it was Toast, so I tried creating an iDVD project and tried to burn the DVD using that, and it stopped in the middle as well and then spit the disk out with no error message.
, this time I tried creating a disc image, and used disk utility to burn. The process looked like it was going to work but then failed with a message that I have a medium write error.
I have no problems burning a regular data disk on my superdrive so I am thinking it's maybe a software glitch rather than hardware. . Any thoughts, as to what could be causing this problem all of a sudden. By the way, there are other users out there, who seems to be having DVD burning problems all of a sudden, but most people suggest other media. I am using the same stack of DVD-R's from before when I had no problem.

Well, I had assumed my media was ok, since I had a spindle of DVD-R's and had used many of them successfully (until now!, ha ha).
I went out this afternoon and bought another brand (Memorex) and it successfully recorded.
So hopefully this solves my problem, I had no idea it was the media since I had used several of them before.
Thanks for your help.

Save as disc image help

I did a save as disc image to my desktop. Can I burn a dvd from a disc image and still get the same quality, as if I was to just burn without a disc image. I burn best quality. If I could burn from disc image how do i do.

The answer is Yes, the disc image will be the exact same quality that you would get if you had just burned it directly from iDVD without a disc image.
You would burn this disc image from Disk Utility. This is inside the /Applications/Utilities directory.
First, you'd drag the disc image from Finder into the side window of Disk Utility, and then select it, and hit the "Burn" button on top of the window.

Disc image input/output error

When burning a disc image using disc utility, I get the ever so popular input/output error message. I cannot find anywhere on these posts a solution to this problem. It is not dirty discs, etc. It happens when I try to copy dvd's... which are not licensed, etc.

Could be so many things, Input/Output errors are generally loosing contact with a device for a variety of reasons, do you get any error # with that?
Open Console in Utilities & watch for more info whn you try to burn, or open the Disk Utility Log if there.

Background Pictures in Disc Images

I've been trying to create a disc image using Disc Utility that displays a background image when you open it, similar to the kind used by many shareware apps distributed these days (ie. a picture that says "To install, drag this folder to your hard disk").
The problem is that I can't seem to get the background picture to "stick", as it were. I've set up a folder with a bg pic and dragged it onto Disc Utility to create a compressed disc image, but the background disappears when I open the finished product. I've tried altering the disc image once it's finished instead, but as soon as I eject it and re-load the image, it's lost its background picture.
I sort of managed to get this to work by creating an uncompressed read/write disc image with Disc Utility instead and then altering the contents with my background picture, but when I transfer it to another computer my settings have vanished. This isn't really an ideal solution anyway, though, as I would rather used a compressed image for internet distribution.
I've tried doing a search on this forum for similar queries, but most of them seem to concentrate on how to make the background picture a hidden file, which I'm not terribly concerned about. That, and I'm not all that keen on too much fiddling about in the Terminal...
So, can anyone help me here? How do those shareware developers make their custom disc images? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cannot Create Encrypted Disc Image

So, I can't seem to create an encrypted disc image in Disk Utility, as the linked screen capture shows:
http://imgur.com/7dv3t.png
The "Create" button is grayed out. This occurs even if I try different settings for Volume Format, Partition, Encryption, and Image Format.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is happens?
(Running 10.5.8 on a MBP Santa Rosa, with no modifications except for 4GB of RAM, and I wasn't able to create disc images even before the 10.5.8 update.)

No problem. I remember being stumped by the exact same thing myself.

Creating encrypted disc image on iPod classic

Can I create an encrypted disc image, using Disk Utility on my iPod to store documents?

Can I create an encrypted disc image, using Disk Utility on my iPod to store documents?
Yes. You need to enable disk use for the iPod, and the image must be smaller than 4GB if you're using a PC formatted iPod. There is no way of accessing the documents on the iPod itself.

There is no need to download any image.Look for a program called one key recovery.Select the option of creating a product recovery disk.That will be a copy of your genuine Windows7.

Stuck on Disc Utility Window

I have a Macbook pro 13' late 2008. The hard drive needs repairing, I start up the disc in recovery mode CMD +R and the language selection window opens, I press return to select English and the Disk Utility window opens. I can move the mouse but I am unable to select anything and the continue button is greyed out. So I cant repair or erase the Disk. Its fully backed up and the laptop does work if a bit slow, I fear that the problem is something other than the hard drive.
Many thanks

Well I would create a JDialog with your required data. You center it using
dialog.setLocationRelativeTo( frame );
and you make sure you specifiy the frame as the owner when creating the dialog and the dialog will always be displayed whenever the frame is displayed.

Help! Can't mount disc images or run Disc Utility!

Hey all,
Somethings gone wrong with my iMac, I've attempted to mount a disc image, and I receive the following error:
"The following disc images failed to mount. Reason: No such file or directory"
This now happens with every single .dmg file I try to mount. Even ones I know work because i've used them before. So I know for a fact that the file I've tried to mount isn't just been damaged.
It gets worse...
I tried to run Disc Utility to repair the problem and it won't open. Everytime I try I get the message "The application Disc Utility quit unexpectedly". I click re-open, and try again, but still nothing.
I don't know what to do, i've downloaded Disc Warrior, but couldn't install as I obviously can't mount dmg files.
Also, my Toast application won't open, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anyway, does anybody have any advice? It would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey guys, so I've acquired the DiskWarrior disc, rebuilt the drive, and I am still unable to mount dmg files.
Any further suggestions?

Problems burning DVD from iDVD disc image

I'm burning a disc image onto a DVD using Toast and can't seem to get the disc to automatically start or be read by either my home DVD player or my Powerbook G4 (through DVD player). I'm a little unclear if I burn the .img folder onto the DVD, the mounted drive containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, or the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS files themselves. I've tried all of these and none have worked, which made me think that it was something wrong with my DVDproj file from whence the disc image was made.
Do I have to have something in the box labeled "Drag content here to automatically play when disc is inserted" in teh MapView? I'd prefer it to just bring up the DVD menu.
Thanks!

Pre edit:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Burning From a Disc Image Problems??

I recently purchased iDVD 5. The best feature in the new iDVD for me is the ability to save my projects to disc image which lets me keep just the disc image on my hard drives with a file size of roughly 3-4 GB. This saves me a TON of space as I was having to save all of the self contained movie files along with the DVD projects in order to burn more copies for my clients in the future.
My concern is that burning these extra copies of my projects for my clients with disk utility is not as "solid" a way to create DVDs as it would be to simply burn all the copies I may need directly from iDVD.
Is this true?
Also, I have never been able to verify any disk that I burned from a disk image using disk utility. These disks play fine on my new Sony DVD player, but I have had some complaints from clients that the disks skip and don't play perfectly.
What could be causing this problem?
If I can play these disks on my home DVD player even though my computer can't verify the burn, should I be concerned?
Is the inability to verify a problem with my burner?
Pete

Len,
Others have had the verify "problem." I NEVER verify.
Really? Then I don't need to verify? My burning process goes to this automatically, I think. How do I stop it?
BTW, I did install Tiger, no problem, installed FCE and made a very short movie, only one transition, no added audio, but burned with iDVD just great! It takes some adjusting, but I am getting the hang of it, and it hasn't been too hard to learn yet
I think I will use iMovie--> for my photos/videos to DVD projects for a while, but when I get to mostly videos and all digital photos, I think I will go back to FCE (or whenever I have lots of time to be REALLY creative)
PS. I'm SURE you ARE younger than I am! I'm like Old Toad...we're older than dirt!

Encore cs4 creates invalid disc image (iso file)

I have a video I edit in premiere cs4, exported an .mpg file that I import into encore to create a DVD. This works mostly fine (I have to delete the .xmp* file before importing to encore).
Today I edited the video, re-encoded the mpg file using quality 5 and 2 pass vbr, and added a slide show (about 6 photos) to the encore project. It also builds fine to a disc image (iso file). But when I try to burn the iso file using windows 7, it tells me the iso image is invalid. I tried imgburn and got an error message like this:
session 1 track 1 MODE1 .... 2054
dvd format: MODE1 .... 2048
If I ask imgburn to continue it then says something about CSS and encryption, which I don't use, so I assume the iso file is too messed up.
I burned a DVD5 directly from encore, and it works in a dvd player.
Any idea why this invalid iso happens and whether there is a work-around?
Since cs4 is not the latest version, I assume there is no hope of bug fix?

There seem to be major problems in the disc creation process. I am struggling since several days now and I am not able to produce a working Blu-Ray Disk or iso image with Encore 5.5:
- when producing Blu-Ray ISO images, you get an ISO that is recognized as DVD iso in all virtual drive programs. Therefore, you cann not burn them on a BD-R disc, also viewing them is not possible because it is a "DVD with blu-ray content".
- when burning directly to disk, Encore does not close the sessing. This means, the Disk is not playable on all home Blue-Ray players. It was playable on my computer, but after closing the session manually the disc was a coaster.
- when burning on a virtual burner (Virtual CD 10), the Blue-Ray plays ok on my computer, but I am NOT able to make a ISO image from this disk because some errors (unreadable blocks) on the disk are reported during creation and image creation stops.
- from time to time (not reproduceable), Encore produces an additional AACS folder on the created Blu-Ray.
I am an experienced user and dont have any issues with other software solutions, but with Encore I was not able to get any usable results so far.

Creating a disc image from an iso file

I have a samsung Bluray player that requires and update. I downloaded the file (which is a zip), then expanded it. It is an iso file. I need to create a disc image (not a simple burn to a cd) in order to update my samsung player. How do I do that? Disc Utility?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The ISO file is on my desktop. I didn't understand how to get it to show in DU, but when I hit BURN, a navigation window opens...thank you.
