Creating IMG files

What tools should I be using to create IMG files?

Hi charles,
the usual way to create a disk image is through Disk Utility. There you can create a disk image from a volume or a folder. If you want to create a completely customized disk image you could try DMG Packager.

    What was the original source? Do you still have it? I am importing .mov files now that were converted using mpegstream clip from a .dv file to an apple motion jpeg to improve quality. I am importing fine. Appleman1958 seems to always have the answers, but he will need more info....what was the original source and what were the exact export specs.

  • Create .img from QuickTime?

    I have created .img files from iDVD. I have some big QuickTime dv files. Can I create .img files from them? If so, how?

    Can I create .img files from them?
    Not through QuickTime. The DIsk Utility can create them, but it can't convert data to the format needed for DVD playback. A DVD authoring application such as iDVD is needed to create files of that type and content.

  • IDVD creates a img file, how do I burn this into a video DVD?

    I do not have a DVD drive on my mac, so I sent my img file to my pc, burnt it using Nero, and the result is a non-working video DVD.
    Please help!!
    Thanks!

    Check out http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3538993&#3538993 for help on cross platform image file use.
    I suspect you ended creating a DVD disc that wasn't in the proper UDF format when you burned with Nero.

  • Need to convert to .img file

    I have an image, currently in .bmp format, but can be changed to .jpg or .tiff. I need to convert it to .img. I'm running CS6 on a Mac.

    Are you sure you don't mean img in the file name?
    Some cameras create file name like: img001.jpg, img002.jpeg, etc.
    Googling .img points to some type of image in AutoCAD?
    I find it hard to believe that AutoCAD cannot work with .jpg or tiff.
    .JPG is pretty universally accepted by all applications that deal with images.
    Who is asking you for an image with the .img file extension and what are they planning to do with it, (use in what application)?

  • How do I burn a disc image (img file) to dvd?

    I created a disc image from iDVD, but my disc drive on my home computer is broken. With a flash drive, I copied the img file onto my work computer & burned the file to disc. However, while the file copied, the disc doesn't play as normal dvd. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Though the replies above were very helpful and most likely would have worked, my work computer doesn't allow access to Disc Utilities. However, I bugged my IT guy and he showed me another way, using the Burn Application. I just needed to use the correct setting, as was mentioned above, I was burning data & not DVD. I'm sorry I don't have it in front of me, but I think I had to click the DVD tab & then select DVD/Video from the drop-down menu. One quirky element: I wasn't able to drag/drop the img file into Burn. I needed to drop the contents of the img file (the VIDEO_TS folder). Then it worked fine.

  • How to edit a movie from an .img file

    Hi all!
    I've got a movie in .img format. What I'd like to do is cut off ten seconds of the movie, but I don't know how to do it.
    I've tried opening the file in Quicktime Pro (wouldn't open), iMovie (wouldn't open) VLC (opened just fine but couldn't edit it) and Ffmpeg (format not recognized) - so, no luck sofar.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Any suggestion would be appreciated!
    Lianne

    If the .img file is a DVD movie, MPEG Streamclip
    <http://www.squared5.com>
    can be used to select the movie (minus the ten seconds) and convert to another movie format. You will need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component
    <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/>
    If you want to create a new DVD formatted movie, convert to DV, then use iDVD to create a new DVD.

  • Can't open .img file

    I can't open a .img file on my Mac running Snow Leopard. I've tried opening it with Stuffit Expander, the default DiskImageMounter, and Disk Utility. I get an error message "The following disk image could not be opened" The reason "not recognized". I tried changing the extension to .dmg. So far nothing works. What gives? This was never a problem in previous OS X versions. It could be a corrupt file? Its a firmware update for a wireless router that I'm trying to open. I had this happen before and Stuffit Expander did the trick, but not this time. Suggestions? Reasons this is happening now?

    What exactly are you expecting the file to be? There are actually five completely different file types that all use the .img extension:
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/img
    If it's an image file created in ancient times by ShrinkWrap, it's apparently not easily openable on Mac OS X. I found a couple posts from 8 years ago indicating that Roxio Toast and Stuffit Deluxe could open them... whether this is still the case is anyone's guess. Remember that 8 years ago, Mac OS X was brand new and most people were still using Mac OS 9 or earlier. Things have changed very significantly since then.

  • How do I convert img file to VDI

    I have downloaded a disk image of Google's Chromium OS (from developer Hexxeh made available at http://download-chromiumos.appspot.com/ I have the 64 bit version) both the files here are downloaded as .img files and Mac OS X says it cannot mount these files I get a warning no mountable file systems. I really need a VDI though I read there is a way to convert an img file in the Terminal to VDI (this is from 2009 though)  you enter
    VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI   [filename with extension] [chromiumos]. [filename]vdi it says converting from raw image file but then immediately gives this error:
    VBoxManage: error: Cannot open file "[chromiumos_image]": VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
    Anyone know how I can get this to work or where I can find a working VDI to download that is recent. I have Hexxeh's earlier Chrome OS build 4028 on his site chromeos.hexxeh.net working but it is from April of last year. Any ideas how to get this to work or where to find a working file. I have tried Arnoldthebat's VDI images from November-December 2013 and even newer but they don't work. I'm told since October 13, 2013 future builds of his don't work in VirtualBox. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any older builds available for download to his site. I can only get the November-December 2013 builds or  newer 2014 builds.
    FYI: My MacBook Pro is now on OS 10.9.2 Mavericks.

  • Can I view a .img file?

    I've made a .img file to burn DVDs with. I thought I read somewhere that I could view the file (on my computer, similiar to viewing a DVD). Am I making that up? Or is there a way to view a finished iDVD project more accurately than the "Preview" mode? I'd appreciate any help with this.

    This should help you:
    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. 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 5 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.)

  • How to increase LVM based System.img file ?

    I am trying to create Oracle VM template from System.img, here my requirement is increasing the System.img file to 60GB from 6GB.
    I would like to increase LVM based System.img to 60GB and swap to 32GB, could you please assist me how to do this ?
    Where as I can able to increase non-LVM based System.img using modifyjeos command as follows
    #modifyjeos -f System.img -T 61440 -S 32768 -a $RPM_LIST -m $RPM_DIR -nogpg -P ELCONTROL.img 102400 $U01_MOUNT
    So I need to expand the System.img to 60GB and swap to 32GB.  Also need to be able to add a disk at 100GB, can you please let me know what is equivalent command for modifyjeos for LVM based System.img ?
    Please let me know if you need more information

    Hi,
    Verify how much the total size of the Virtual Machine.
    - go to repository
    - resize the system.img
    - start the VM
    resize the Partition;
    - lvmresize lvm-partition
    - resize4fs lvm-partition
    resize swap:

  • Visio2013 preview opens a .img file that doesn't run anything

    Has anyone else tried to download the Visio2013 preview? After then entire install process I click launch and what looks like a txt file opens but nothing happens... VisioProfessional_x64_en-us
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have no idea what you did, so unfortunately cannot comment on it. Since you reference the img file I have to assume you used it to either create a dvd that could be used to install it or mounted it on a virtual application so that it could be installed.
    When you have the image mounted (either virtually or physically) can you explore the the files and see what is there before beginning the install?

  • Disk Utlity can't burn .img files to disk

    I'm newly digitizing old Beta tapes via a Canopus capture card. I've output my IMovie/iDVD projects to image files, but when I use Disk Utility to burn a DVD from the .img file I get nothing but verification errors and different checksums. I'm using Apple 4.7 Gb disks. The DVDs seem to play OK on my home Toshiba player, maybe with some stalling.
    If I burn the iMovie/iDVD project directly to a DVD and then create a disk image file from that disk, Disk Utility burns successful copies from the .dmg file even on cheap-o Memorex disks.
    I'm perplexed. This seems backwards. Could it be the difference between .img and .dmg files? Maybe I'm not using Disk Utility correctly in selecting/mounting/opening the image files...?I must say that Disk Utility Help is not very helpful.
    I have the same problem on my new LaCie drive and the old SuperDrive.
    G4 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   IDVD 5.01, new LaCie drive

    More info:
    After further investigation I 'discovered' Disk Utility:Images:Convert in the Disk Utility menubar. When I converted .img files to .dmg they seem to burn easily and accurately. I wonder why this isn't documented.
    I'm wondering what the functional difference is between .dmg and .cdr image files.

    Tobias, you may have read on arch-general that I've been working on a totally refactored installer (installation framework).
    It's called AIF.  Basically I've taken the old /arch/setup from installer.git and totally refactored everything to make the codebase clean, modular and reusable.  Lately I've also been rewriting the whole blockdevice/filesystem part of the installer because it wasn't very good.  For more info I refer to http://dieter.plaetinck.be/AIF_the_bran … _Framework , http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-gen … 02541.html (albeit most of the info there is a bit outdated now) and http://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/tree/master
    I also maintain packages in aur ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21565 follows the master branch, where I pull in all the stabilized code, so I recommend this package)
    Right now AIF is mostly good for developers/power users who wish to make custom installation procedures.
    Towards the reglar user there isn't that much of a difference: the installer looks very similar. although under the hood 95% of the things are different.  Right now I'm also working on supporting lvm/dm_crypt.
    Anyway, if you're interested, I suggest you take a look at the code and if you like it you could maybe integrate AIF as an alternative, experimental installer. (it doesn't conflict with the other installer, it installs alongside)
