Disk Image on DVD disk. How do I utilize?

I backed up a project on a DVD disk as a disk image. How do I utilize it? I would like to get it into iMovie or iDVD and eventually burned to a DVD?
Thanks

I backed up a project on a DVD disk as a disk image.
If you created a disk image by selecting File>Create Disk Image, you really haven't 'backed up' your project. You 'burned' a completed DVD to a disk image file. This is NOT an archive of your DVD project. Your content has been mpg-2 compressed.
How do I utilize it? I would like to get it into
iMovie or iDVD and eventually burned to a DVD?
If you created a disk image using the File>Created Disk Image route out of iDVD, you can burn it to a DVD by following Burning a disk image on a CD or DVD at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1884.html
Please note that to use the mpg-2 content from such a disk image in iMovie, you will need to unencode the mpg-2 back to DV video. There are several programs to do this, but this approach results in lower image quality than just using your original DV video content.

  • How do i save an iPhoto slideshow to a disk, how do i save an iPhoto slideshow to a disk

    I have created a slideshow with iPhoto and need to burn a disk of it.  How do I do that?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large or 480p. 
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Since SSD is now my 1st disk, how to have 2nd HDD off on startup by default?

    Hello,
    Since SSD is now my 1st disk, how to have my 2nd HDD (in the DVD bay / caddy) OFF on computer startup ?
    (This will prevent the HDD to be in rotation : it is not needed. I don't use it until a want to access some files which are on this HDD).

    Yeah, I want the OS to turn on the HDD, dump out the file, then immediately turn off the HDD. I also want the OS to cache all HDD directory and file information so that the HDD stays off, quietly, when I browse around the machine.
    Not going to happen.
    I can invest $500 (or about 385 euro) in a SSD.

  • HT4414 I accidentally deleted garageband and I can not find the disks how to recover it?

    I accidentally deleted garageband and I can not find the disks how to recover it?

    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

  • I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

  • Since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists

    since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists?

    My own opinion is that you should install the later appropriate version of Silverkeeper. That said, I would in fact recommend if you can wait a few days for an answer, that you email the La Cie Silverkeeper backup team via the email link on the site at http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
    They are careful to say they are not officially providing a backup service, but when I emailed them with a query regarding usage about a year ago after downloading Silverkeeper for myself, I got a reply within a couple of days that cleared up my question.

    Well then when you erased your hard drive, your erased the Recovery partition, also.
    Use Internet Recovery to either restore from your Time Machine backup or reinstall the OS if you don't have a TM Backup.
    It will install the OS that shipped on that Mac. You can then upgrade via the App Store.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

    Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
    It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
    Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
    OK the language page.
    From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
    Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
    Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
    When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
    If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

  • I lost my iphoto application how i can restore it? i am not having system restore disk. how i can get my photos back?

    i lost my iphoto application how i can restore it? i am not having system restore disk. how i can get my photos back?

    If the iPhoto application is no longer on your hard drive (do a search to be sure it didn't just get moved to an unexpected place), there's no way to get it back without either backups or a copy of iPhoto.  Your original disks that shipped with the machine would have iPhoto.  If you have lost those disks and don't have backups, you'll simply have to buy a copy of iLife.  Or call Apple with your machine's serial number in-hand and request replacement disks, which they will send you for a small fee.

  • There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it.

    There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it. I recently went to the genius bar in Albuquerque, NM and they restarted it and did a partition on it and what I needed was fixed but I still have a  question mark on my start up disk.

    There is no startup system on it. Or, you need to open Startup Disk preferences and select a startup disk. Or your startup disk lacks a name such as "Macintosh HD," for example.

  • I want to restore imac to like new for wife but never got a restore or reinstall disk how can i do this

    I want to reset my old imac to the facotry settings and start from scratch for the wife I have the new one and niether came with a recovery disk how can i do this....

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • After backup to disk, how to import back to itunes?

    Hi itunes People,
    After I backup (using consolidate files) to a disk, how do I then take the backup and import it back ito the itunes library?
    Starsky

    Backup to disc was removed about two years ago.
    You should get (already have) an external drive for backing upcountry computer.
    See this for backing up iTunes.
