Creating/Burning DVD Disk Images

I'm trying to backup a (commercial) language instruction DVD that my 2-year-old daughter uses (and scratches) often.
I ripped it to my hard drive with MacTheRipper and DVD Player is able to play the resulting VIDEO_TS folder. So, far, so good.
Now, I need to burn a DVD of the ripped files.
What software do you recommend for creating the DVD disc image and burning it to a DVD?
Thanks.

I am attempting to do the same thing; i.e., I have a TS folder on my desktop and I'm trying to make a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
I've tested the TS folder by launching it in DVD Player and it plays beautifully with sound. Now I would like to burn this to a DVD.
I've attempted to use DVD Imager, but all I get is an error message that the TS folder is not found after dragging it to the icon. I've moved the folder around to different places (home drive, user etc), but still DVD Imager doesn't seem to find it, even though the path is recognized in the software.
I also followed the steps in the ken stone article and successfully created a .cdr file by following these steps:
a. Created a folder named VISIONS (the name of the home made movie)
b. Placed the TS_Video folder inside of the VISIONS folder
c. Used Disk Utility to create a .cdr
selected File>New>Disc Image from Folder
selected VISIONS folder (with TS_Video folder inside)
selected CD/DVD Master
selected Encryption None
d. VISIONS.cdr created on desktop
e. Used Disk Utility to create DVD
highlighted VISIONS.cdr in left in Disk Utility
Burned to DVD
The DVD created was not recognized by my DVD player, nor would it play on my MAC - the computer wouldn't even recognize it.
Do I need to also place an empty AUDIO_TS folder inside the VISIONS folder along with the VIDEO_TS folder?
Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Can't burn DVD but image plays just fine in Apple DVD player

    I can make a DVD and save it as an image, which DVD player will play flawlessly. I just can't burn it to a DVD. It fails continuously. Maybe it's my media? Can anyone recommend media known to work well in a MacBook Pro (last version)? Any other suggestions? thanks.

    It is easy to burn from a disk image, and it is better because all the media needed is already within the disk image file. It doesn't have to search, locate and pull in the media for the burn. There are many places for errors to occur. If you have successfully created a disk image file, just burn from that.
    Also, a disk image file is self-contained. You can safely delete both the original iDVD project and the original iMovie used to make it if you are finished editing them. Because the disk image file is small, you will save drive space. You can also burn a new DVD disk of that project any time in the future, without having to remember if you moved the original media, or renamed anything used in that project. Of course, you cannot edit a disk image, but you can't edit a burned DVD disk either.
    Many users here report that DVD-R disks are better and play in more types of set-top players. Others think DVD+R disks work fine. I always use Verbatim DVD-R, burn at 4x or less, create a disk image file of all my iDVD projects and I have never had a burn issue.

  • 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.

  • Creating a mp3 disk image with disk utility

    Hi,
    I'd like to create a mp3 disk image with disk utility. In the end I would like to have a mp3 disk that plays in various stero system and macs.
    But I want to add some additional files: a png file for a nice folder background of the dmg, a special image for the dmg, and some text files relating to the mp3s.
    Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
    Thanx for your help

    Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
    You need to know which file systems your "various stereo systems" understand. The default file system created on a diskimage when burning is a hybrid file system- HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge.

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • How Do I Create a Sparse Disk Image?

    I'm having trouble creating a sparse disk image. The instructions I'm following are:
    +1. Open Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility.+
    +2. Select File->New...->Blank Disk Image.+
    +3. Name it, set the size to what you'll need, set the encryption to AES-128, and set the format to sparse disk image.+
    - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=257063
    The problem for me is I do not see an option for "sparse disk image." The only options I see for Image Format are:
    +read only+
    compressed
    read/write
    +DVD/CD master+
    Is there something I'm missing?

    Nevermind, found it.
    Figured out there's a difference between pushing the New Image button in the toolbar vs. going to File > New > Blank Disk Image...

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image in Lion

    disk utility gives the error Unable to create "Volume.dmg." (error - 60008) when creating an encrypted disk image. I am using the following steps:
        1.    Open disk utility
        2.    Select the disk (internal or external) to create the image on
        3.    Select File>New>Blank Disk Image…

        10.    Click the Create button
        11.    Password dialog appears
        12.    When I enter a password the dialog closes after entering only a few characters i.e. before I've finished typing, and the following error message displays:
    Unable to create "Volume.dmg." (error - 60008)
    I have previously, successfully, created encrypted disk images in Snow Leopard, and I don't know why I can't in Lion
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for this Thomas.
    I've tried naming the image differently, but still received the error, I did however try different permutations for the password.
    The error seems to happen if I use a purely numerical password string and occurs on input of the 10th numerical character, if I start with numerical character but use an alpha before the 9th number I can continue and create a password, and I can create a password  if I start with an alpha and switch to numerals after the first alpha character, purely alphabetical passwords are fine too.
    It seems that Lion doesn't like purely numerical passwords greater than 9 characters, whereas Snow Leopard wasn't so fussy. Seems it's a bit of a bug.
    Thanks for your help

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility

    Hi:
    With our upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago, we're now unable to create an encrypted disk image of any type using Disk Utility any more. This problem occurs on 3 different machines, and is reproducible whether one is using an internal HD or an external FW HD. We can successfully create nonencrypted disk images.
    This is a duplicate post with all the details here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18469359#18469359
    We haven't had any luck with a solution trying various permissions fixes as helpfully suggested by other readers in response to the error message # (-60008 error), so I'm hoping that someone else has run across a solution from the encrypted disk image perspective and that this tag line will generate some help.
    Thank you!

  • Creating an Encrypted Disk Image on an External (USB) Drive

    I have an external 600 GB drive (2x 300 GB SATA 3.5" disks in a Thecus N2050 RAID0 external enclosure connected to iMac by USB2) onto which I would like to backup a large amount of data (500 GB).
    I store this external drive away from my home (in the office) and since I cannot guarantee physically locking away the drive I would like to logically lock the drive by placing all the backup data into an encrypted disk image created on that volume.
    I have tried creating an encrypted disk image on my USB volume in Disk Utility (Apple's instructions here) but I experience a number of issues not documented in the Apple article:
    1) I am not presented with a drop-down option for the size of the disk image.
    2) When I go ahead and try to creat the image I am told that the creation was impossible "file or folder does not exist".
    Is it possible to create disk images on USB volumes (I cannot create such a large disk image on my iMac HDD as I do not have sufficient space).
    thanks in advance
    Raf

    I realised that in Disk Utility you must not have any of your mounted drives highlighted in the left hand pane.

  • Question about creating a bootable disk image in Leopard.

    I have a Powerbook G4 that originally came with OS9, I upgraded to Tiger and recently upgraded to Leopard. The computer is running great but if it should go down what are my bootable options?
    1) Boot from the install disk set then load tiger upgrade then load Leopard upgrade? then reload all my programs back on the G4?
    2) Can I create a bootable disk image and save it on an external hard drive and then boot and reload everything at once? ( I guess by asking this question I really don't understand what the full scope of a bootable disk image is?) can someone explain...
    Which option is better? I am also running __time machine__... what is the safest and easiest way to use time machine to get my software back together after I get the operating system up and running.
    Thanks for the advice

    Your best alternative is to create a bootable clone on an external Firewire drive.
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Of course you can use other software for cloning and backup:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    For use with Leopard always be sure you use a version of the software that is compatible with Leopard.

  • 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,
    June

  • Burning A Disk Image into hard drive then using Disk Utilities to make DVD

    I am having problems burning a 5GB project onto a DVD+R DL 8GB, so I decided to create a disk image onto my desktop and then use Disk Utility to burn the DVD. Any feedback on this workaround? Thank you very much. Maria

    The disc image will not preserve your layer break point, so if you've set that at a specific place, it'll get changed. When burning from a disc image, the first layer will get filled up, then the second layer will begin to be used. Other than that issue, burning from a disc image will work. You'll also be able to set the burn speed with Disk Utility.
    Also, burn with Verbatim DVD+R DL discs for best results.
