Burning several disk images in one DVD

Is it possible to bun 2 disk images on a DVD? I tried in DU but if both .img are selected,"Burn" is greyed.
Alternatively, how can I combine 2 disk images into one, so that DU will accept to burn it?
I found the following advice a Forum:
A .dmg file is a disk image, and can be treated like any other disk. You can copy the contents of one into another, or make a new blank image and copy their contents into that.
I did that, but, as I said, DU doesn't agree
Those disk images contain home videos which have been edited in iMovie 5, but cannot be burned in iDVD because my Mac mini has no DVD burner. So I create a disk image in iDVD and use DU -> Images -> burn on an external burner.
Also, is it possible to rename a DVD? For some reason the latest DVD is bearing the same name as the DVD burned just before it.

your whole topic is Finder-related, MacOs allows/supports simple drag'n drop...
your both .imgs exist at some location of your Mac, right?
no app needed nor running...
insert an empty dvd-r
your Mac will ask you what to do...
you do: drag'n drop both .img files onto disk...
hit the burn button in disk's window..
no step 3), boom! done..

  • Burning multiple disk images onto a dvd

    I made successful disk images created from DVs of short Ken Burns imovie projects. I then burnt them using disk utility. However, these were burnt onto indivdual disks and I got the idea that it would be a good if I could link the images together and burn them onto one dvd disk. However, this does not seem to be possible as I can't see a way of creating chapter markers now that I no longer have the original DVs, and although I got the image files onto a disk by dragging them on, (disk utility wouldn't allow me to select more than one image at a time), the disk won't open on the television dvd player and therefore it can't be played.
    I'm therefore assuming that what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible?
    Thanks,

  • How do I burn several Video_TS folders onto one DVD?

    A cousin had some very old (as early as 1929!) film converted and burned to three DVDs, of them short (the total run time is under an hour). What's the best way to combine them into one DVD so I can duplicate it and send to other family members? I'm copying the VIDEO_TS files but am leery of re-naming them for fear of confusing Toast 7.
    Can iDVD6 help do this more simply?

    How fabulous!
    The old family movies I converted to DVDs were only from 1958!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS folders back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip (you just drop the TS folder into the Streamclip window):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    (Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
    Once in iMovie you can edit the 'stray bits' out, have each old movie as a chapter etc.
    Then send it to iDVD for burning, or use Toast.

  • IDVD freezes when I try to burn a disk image.

    I have a MacBook Pro and am running 10.4.8. I used IMovie HD 6.03 to make a movie from digital photographs with audio. I used IDVD to create a DVD. When I burned the disk using IDVD 6.03, the DVD was pixelated. I read in a thread in the discussion on IDVD that if I create a disk image and then burn it with Toast at a lower spped, you get a better result. I tried several rimes to create a disk image, It encodes fine through the menu, when it gets to encoding the movie, the program freezes. I have closed all other programs and turned off the airport. I also have over 30 Gb of memory. Any sugestions on what is causing this problem or how to fix it. I also tried creating the disk on a 13" MacBook - it also froze.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thanks.
    I actually read a post after mine that showed a lnk that says the same thing. I will give it time. I gues the reason I was concerned is that when I burned the DVD to using IDVD it did not take very long. However, when I tried to burn a disk image, I left it sit for 2 hours and it was stuck on encoding the audio. I will try again and let it sit.

  • How to make a disk image of a DVD to Playback in IDVD Player?

    Is there a way to make a disk image of a DVD so I can play it with IDVD Player? I made a DVD image from Disk Utility and got a .dmg file, I then copied the contents of the DVD to the image. iDVD doesn't recognize it. So I then converted this image to a DVD/CD Master .cdr file with Disk Utility, but this isn't recognized by iDVD either. I am running OS 10.4.11.

    One can burn a disc image thru iDvd or apple's disc utility but it is Not possible to play a disc image thru iDvd to the best of my knowledge. However a disc image burned thru iDvd will play exactly like a typical dvd when apple's dvd player app is used for playback. You may need to navigate to the video_ts folder (w/in the disc image) in order to play the image.

  • Help! Toast 6 Titanium FAILS to "burn" a Disk Image

    Hello everyone.
    I was using Toast 6 Titanium to "burn" backup discs for myself, first I tried duplicating or "copying" the Mac OS X Tiger DVD Installer, and it was a success.
    Then I tried to "burn" a Disk Image of Suitcase X to a CD (The Disk Image was created using an earlier version of Toast, and quite possibly in OS 9 environment, 'cause I have that image stored in my Ext. HD for quite sometime...), but I keep getting fail error message after I hit the 'Rec' button:
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
    Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
    (OK button)
    So what does this means?? If I can "dub" a DVD, so could this be because the disk image was created with an older version of Toast or something??
    I haven't tried directly "dubbing" a CD... so doesn't know if that is working or not?? Or it's the type/brand of CD-R I am using??
    Thanks and cheers

    You would think that crating a disk image in one operating system would be recognised in another, this isn't necessarly so.
    Use the same one redo it using the same computer and I'll bet it works..
    The error code is because OS9 is a completely different operating system.

  • Do i have to let idvd encode assets before i burn a disk image?

    I never really noticed this before, but when I go to Project Info, it tells me that my assets are encoding. Do I have to wait for this to happen before burning a disk image, or does it encode the assets while I'm burning a disk image?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    If you have selected BEST Peformance encoding, you have an option to have your content encoded in the background as you work on the project, saving you a little time.
    In any event, all encoding must take place before iDVD can burn to a DVD disc or write a disk image file.  This happens when you tell iDVD to "Burn".

  • 6 GB disk image on 2 DVDs?

    Can I burn a 6 GB disk image on 2 DVDs, as suggested by the OS?
    I.e., will I be able to open this image from the DVDs later?
    Thanks a lot
    Peter

    You could use the Terminal "split" command to split the file into two pieces, and burn them to two DVDs with Finder.
    To restore, copy the first part from the first DVD to the hard drive, then use the Terminal "cat" command to append the second part from the second DVD.
    cat part02 >> part01

  • Movie clips in iDVD won't burn to disc image or a DVD

    I created an iDVD project with a slide show created in iPhoto and some movie clips I took with a digital camera that were also in iPhoto. It works great in iDVD preview. When I burn a disc image or a DVD, the movie clips don't play while the slideshow is fine. There is also the clue in the menu of the project (only on the disc image or DVD, not the iDVD preview) that the printing of the names of the movie clips is clearly lighter than the name of the slideshow. During the burning to disc or DVD, one can see the movie clips supposedly being encoded and no error messages occur. This is a birthday present. Help, please.

    It's become a moot point. It turns out that while I could navigate with the mouse with respect to the slide show (on both the disc image and the DVD I burned), I had to use the arrows and enter key to navigate and activate the movie clips. Once I figured out to use the arrow keys/enter key rather than the mouse, everything worked okay. Thanks for trying to help me!

  • Burning multiple iDVD projects to one DVD

    I have iDVD 6 and I've made 3 family iDVD projects over the last few years. Is there a way I can burn all 3 projects onto one DVD? Maybe a new theme with each project as it's own chapter w/subchapters?
    I've tried a few things, but not successfully. If it's not doable w/iDVD6, how about newer versions?
    thx - j

    One way is to drag the underlying iMovie projects into the corner of the main menu window of a new iDVD project. They will import as three separate movies and become part of that project. Depends, of course, on how much running time your movies have. Running time for a standard DVD is 2 hours total. Double layer disks are 4 hours.
    Another way would be to merge the three iMovie projects into one long project, and import that into iDVD as one long movie.

  • How can I burn a disk image using disk utility with an external device?

    I am trying to burn a disk image on DVD using disk utility in OS 10.3.9.
    When I click the 'burn' button only the internal CD-writer appears allthough an external DVD-burner is connected via USB 2.0.
    Does anybody have an idea how to make disk utility recognize the external device?

    Try installing PatchBurn.

  • Burn multiple iphoto albums to one dvd

    Hi,
    I would like to burn multiple iphoto albums onto one dvd.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Brandon

    What's the destination of this disk? Another Mac with iPhoto? Then use the Share -> Burn command
    Anything else: Select the Albums in the iPhoto Window and export them to Folders on the desktop. Then burn those folders with the Finder.
    One exception: Going to view the files on a DVD player? You'll need to create the disk in iDVD.
    Regards

  • Burn multiple imovie projects to one dvd with menu

    How do i burn multiple Imovie projects to one dvd with roxio toast 10? Can i add all of the projects or do i need to export them as a quicktime movie first or something?

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Trying to burn disk image onto LaCie DVD burner...

    I have saved an imovie in iDVD and then saved the project as a disk image on my desktop. Using Disk Utility I added the image as a new image and chose burn. Everything seemed to be going fine, It said it was burning the image and when it finished a error window appeared that said device did not respond properly and was unable to burn project. Can anyone give a start to finish on how to burn an iDVD project to a DVD-+R on a LaCie burner??? Much help appreciated...
    BA

    Use Toast which came with it - it burns the images fine. And try Verbatim media.
