Using macbook pro OS X ver 10.7.5 Trying to burn photos to a dvd but disk utility wont allow me to select photos to burn

I have a macbook pro using OS 10.7.5
The Disk Utility asks to select files to be burned. I have inserted a DVD however I cannot select the files as they are dimmed as is the "burn" button.
How can I easily burn photo files to a dvd?

Create a new folder on your Desktop. Drag the photos you want to burn to the DVD into this folder. Open Disk Utility and select New > Disk Image From Folder from DU's File menu. Locate the folder in the File selector then click on the Image button. Enter a Save name and location in the File selector. From the Image Format dropdown menu select the desired format. If you want the DVD compatible on Macs and PCs then select the Hybrid option. Set the Encryption option to None.
This will create a disc image in the location selected. The disc image may then be burned to a DVD.
Or, from the Finder's File menu select New Burn Folder. Drag the photos you want to burn into the Burn Folder created. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the Burn Folder and select Burn "Burn Folder" to disc from the context menu. Follow onscreen prompts.

How do you use disk utility to burn a bootable .iso dvd?

Anybody have a clue on how you use disk utility to burn a .iso bootable dvd disk?
I'm trying to install windows 7 rc into virtual box in OS X 10.5.7 and cannot figure out how to do this. I've already installed the windows 7 beta in virtual box and was able to make a bootable dvd disk with the .iso file on it but have no clue how I did this.
I've been searching the web but most tips are for older version of OS X.
Thanks to anybody who answers.

It's so easy, You can just burn an .iso file using DVD Creator Std instead of Disk Utility, only 3 steps to finish bur ning your .iso files:

Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault?

When I spoke to a person about upgrading from Premiere Elements 10 to 12, I specifically asked if the program could burn DUAL LAYER 8.5 dvds and I was told that it could. That is the ONLY reason that I upgraded. Since recording in full HD the files are larger. I video plays for local theaters. I have been trying to burn a disk that is 7.5GB (2 hours 15 minutes). I bought RIDATA -RDL 4x 8.5GB disks. Then had a dual layer burner installed in my computer. Premiere Element dialog "incompatible disk" The RITDATA says the problem is Adobe, the Geek Squad says the problem is Adobe.
SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault? I am trying to burn 18 copies of this video (no copyright infringements) and don't tell me to to divide it into 3 disks.

Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?
Short answer: Yes.
What are you burning to DVD disc - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD?
Does your DVD CD burner support double layer single sided discs?
Premiere Elements is supposed to (been there and done that....)
1. burn to Folder (8.5) for Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD
(you take the VIDEO_TS for the former and BDMV Folder in the latter to a program like ImgBurn
for the actual burn to the DVD double layer single sided disc)
2. burn to disc 8.5 GB/240 minutes
Have you gone the burn to folder Folder (8.5 GB) route?
Have you tried another brand of disc in spite of by the disc manufacturer and the Geek Squad are telling you?
A double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality, that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB. Where are you
coming up with 7.5 GB for your disc? Was that due to typing glitch?
Please review and consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using? Are you able to burn a CD?
It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive. Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X. Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

Using OS X 10.8.4. Installed iLife 11 to get iDVD. iMovie ready to burn through iDVD. Attempted burn. iDVD says burn is complete. Burn lines are on DVD R. Same disk cannot be read and is considered blank by computer and DVD player. How do I burn properly?

Hello TchrDi,
I suggest this article named Archived - iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning discs found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1583.
It is pretty lengthy, but also pretty thorough.

Moving to Encore forum
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 will help
The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore
OR, if you don't have Premiere Pro via the Cloud, you may buy Premiere Elements as a non-Cloud program... Premiere Elements is not as complete as Premiere Pro, but it does have integrated DVD/BluRay burning... and a different forum for questions Community: Premiere Elements | Adobe Community

Cannot burn a blank DVD+RW disk

Since I installed Mountain Lion, this is the first time I am trying to burn data to a TDK DVD+RW disk. When I put the blank disk into the computer, the Disk Utility window opens showing the SuperDrive. It has to items: 1 Choose how to erase it and 2 Click Erase. Then I have to make the choice between earasing the data on disk Quickly or Completely. Since it is a blank disk, I chose Quickly. Once this finished, nothing else happened. In fact, no disk icon appeared on the Desktop at any time.
I would hope that I would not have to erase completely every time I used a blank disk, since that takes an hour.
There is nothing in the Disk Utility Preferences that apply to the disk.
The mac will recognize a DVD+RW I created with Snow Leopard OS.
Any suggestions to help me with this problem. My warranty has run out on the computer, so I can't call Apple.

If you are using the correct format, then maybe you
do need a third party utility like Roxio Toast which
has offered multisession burning since before Disk
Utility.
Except that Toast does not support multisession DVD -- only CD. There's an article on Roxio's support site that explains the reason for not supporting multisession DVD: there is no standard for it. All the software that can burn multisession DVDs do it in a way that is not standards-based.

Topic: "Please insert a blank DVD-R disk". DVD burning prob

Hey everyone out there,
My imac is a week old now and i'm starting to experience dvd burning problems. Here is the low down. Used 1-step dvd feature in idvd5 to burn a mini-dv tape from my sony dcr-hc42. It burned succesfully on the 1st 2 tries. On the 3rd try it says to "insert blank dvd-r disk" and spits out the blank dvd. I've read different posts that say to try using dvd -r disks - only suggestion I could find. I have been using dvd -r disks - in fact I've tried 3 different kinds (sony, TDK, memorex) all with the same result. I also got a suggestion to dl toast and test the burner with toast - Same result. It won't even read the blank dvd-r in the drive. Is my burner having problems or is this a problem with ilife 5. It's still new and under warranty so I'll give apple a call and post their directions here. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Where would I be without this forums!!! (on my windows computer, bleh!) =)

Hey Jordan,
I dl'd patchburn and it does the same thing as it did with idvd and toast. It says "please insert a blank dvd-r disk" then ejects the disk. D'oh!!! I just finished talking with apple tech support and here's the low down:
we tried reading the blank disk with finder. Wouldn't even show up on desktop. Then we popped in a movie dvd - read just fine. We went in to system preferences (cds/dvds) - everything a ok. Finally, popped in the mac os disk and did a new archive install - same result =( The tech told me to take it into an apple store which I will be doing soon. Their explanation was that since it was reading the data dvds fine, the problem was the head that detects blank dvds was malfunctioning ( i guess it has 2 heads - 1 to read the data and 1 to detect blank disks). Either way it's covered under warranty ( 1 week old) so hopefully they'll take care of it. I'll post more news once I get it back - crossing my fingers X .....
By the way, thanks for the replies. This forum system is awesome.

I click on the file - under "Preview" there is no "Burn" to select. New Lion comes with imovie and iphoto but can't find way to burn family slideshow (pdf) to disk. Slideshow sent to me - is already set up. Have read Apple gave up on iDVD. How do they expect one to burn disk for family?

Why can't I play self burned DVD-R disks?

Thanks, because all my VHS early childrens self made movies are on this media.

Were your DVDs burned/converted into VIDEO_TS DVDs?
It could also be that you ptical drive has trouble with the DVD+R discs. Some hardware has trouble with the +R discs. I personally have had some trouble with the +R discs in the past. Since I've permanently switched to DVD-R, all problems have disappeared.

Burning Dual Layer DVD in Disk Utility vs. Burn Folder

Using Disk Utility, I created an Image, (File > New Image from Folder), The resulting .dmg file was about 8.3 Gigabytes. Still in Disk Utility, I select the volume (Filename.dmg) and click Burn, insert a dual layer disk and get a "Disk does not have enough free space" message. I create another image of the same folder, but select "Compressed", giving a folder size of about 6.2 Gigabytes. I try to burn this but again get the "not enough free space" message.
Now I try creating a Burn Folder, put the 6.2 gb Filename.dmg in the folder and select Burn, It burns fine.
Why does the Burn Folder method work and not Disk Utility? What am I missing?
I would appreciate any insight.
Geoff

Hi James:
When you try to copy the dual-layer you may encounter problems because the layer-break may not be where you think it should be.
When you try to copy the actual dual Layer DVD, iDVD will inform you that doing so may result in a disc that has playback problems in DVD players. It states that you are better off burning it with iDVD than from a Disk Utility.
3rd party software that will help would be Roxio's Toast 6, 7 or Popcorn.
