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.

  • How to make mounted disk image appear in sidebar

    Hi all,
    Previously, I had inadvertently dragged the icon for a mounted disk image off the sidebar. It made the cool "poof" thing. I then checked if it was really unmounted using disk image. It was not, so I unmounted it there.
    Subsequently, when I would mount that disk image, the icon would not appear in the sidebar. If you run into this problem, you can fix it thus:
    1) Go to the Go --> Go to Folder menu item in the Finder.
    2) Enter /Volumes
    3) Drag the icon of the mounted disk image to the disk part of the sidebar
    You will need to aim properly to get access to the sidebar without activating one of the disk icons.
    4) All better
    This started out as a question, but I fixed it and thought someone else could use the info.
    Scott

    Nicely done Scott, thanks!

  • How Secure Is A Disk Image Using AES-128 Encryption ?

    I want to make encrypted disk images using Disk Utility.
    How secure will they be ?
    Good enough for state secrets ?
    Can the encryption be broken ? If so, how easily ?
    Could the average hacker break it easily or with great effort over a long period ?
    Or would it take a team of government type experts ?
    Ian the Paranoid.

    I would say encrypted disks are a safe option.
    However, with the coming rise of quantum computers, in the wrong hands, encryption for the near future will be all but nullified.
    Some safe measures to take for making your computer safer include: Changing your router's password, enabling firewall, reverse firewall, FileVault (make sure you don't lose your paswords) Firmware password, encrypted mail service, (If available from your ISP).
    These are just some of the obvious. There's more and I haven't used them all. But, it just helps to be informed and work with what you can.

  • How to make an icon image using Photoshop

    I found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libararies tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and Photos
    First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for photoshop which can be downloaded here:
    http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
    The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above.
    Once you have that all set you can now launch photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/256x256_zpsbf3dcf8e.png~original[/IMG]
    Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the
    basic blending options.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/IconImage_zpsd788c709.png~original[/IMG]
    The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed  in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see.
    So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
    file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/SampleicoPic_zpsd252bfba.png~original[/IMG]
    So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/NewLibrary_zps8ca703b2.png~original[/IMG]
    Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Sample1_zpsb5472840.png~original[/IMG]
    So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place.
    Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click
    tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries
    Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/showhiddenfolder_zpsad4a3c94.png~orig inal[/IMG]
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Libraries_zpsf6243bc0.png~original[/IMG]
    Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Notepad_zps251a86f0.png~original[/IMG]
    once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
    <iconReference>c:\"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
    Example:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/iconreference_zps1c1a3eca.png~origina l[/IMG]
    Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.

    It is Windows only because all those screen shots are exclusively Windows, the file structure and paths do not resemble those of the Mac in the least.  As a Mac user, there's nothing I could take from your tutorial.  Sorry, 
    No drives named with letters like C: on the Mac, for instance.  No backward slashes either, ever.  No such paths either.  No "Notepad" on the Mac, we use TextEdit; but such a text editor is not remotely needed on the Mac to make and/or edit icons.  Etc.
    Those folders are not even called "Libraries" on the Mac…  Nothing resembling your tutorial at all.
    The icons in the Finder's Sidebar are not customizable at all in recent version of OS X.

  • Why can't I make a disk Image??

    getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
    question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
    it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
    I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
    Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
    curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
    thanks, chris

  • Make a disk image of a drive with a bootcamp partition?

    Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I'm not evern sure what to call what I'm trying to do so I had a hard time finding information on the topic.
    I installed Windows 7 on my imac using bootcamp and I love it, everything works great! I spent several days installing everything on both partitions and I'm very happy with the way everything is running. I would like to "clone" or make a disk image of my hard drive. This way if I ever need to reinstall things or have a hard drive issue, I don't have to reinstall everything.
    To be clear, I'd like to copy both the windows and mac os partitions together in one step, not make seperate backups.I'm not sure this is even possible.
    I backup my files regularly on external drives so I'm not interested in anything that maintains a system of backups or anything like that. I'm looking for something more like a computer lab at a school would use to reformat and and do a fresh install of all of the software easily. Preferably I'd like something free, but I'll pay for something if it makes life easier.
    Thank you for the help!

    I know it's a lot to absorb (I've been doing these types of things for over 20 years), but if you take it slow, you won't have problem (like restoring over the wrong partition).
    The first thing you should do is to create Recovery Media using the Recovery Media Wizard. This will give you a boot CD with all the Paragon tools on it. It your partition or disk goes south, just boot from this disk (hold down 'C' after the gong or hold down Option key and wait until the boot manager appears, then select the Recovery Disk). You cannot restore a image copy to a disk where you're running the OS, so the way to do a restore of a partition (or entire drive) is to boot the recovery disk, point to the partition/disk image, select the partition/disk to recover to, then start the restoral process.
    For my Boot Camp partition, I prepared a Backup Capsule following the directions in HDM 2011. Since I have several 250 GB SATA2 drives just lying around from another server installation, I figured it would be best to use a pre-made Backup Capsule. But you can use just old any drive in any format, or even laser media (I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to store your backups offsite).
    HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
    Since this is you first time backing up your partition, I would suggest using one of the Backup Wizards. They'll guide you through the backup process and keep you from doing something wrong Similarly, use the Restore Wizard to restore your partition/drive.
    To back up a dual-boot Mac to an external USB drive, do:
    1) Boot from the Recovery Disk (I'm assuming that the backup hard drive is attached before you reboot)
    2) Select Paragon Hard Disk Manager
    3) Launch the Backup Wizard by selecting Wizards > Backup Wizard
    4) Select the Mac hard disk (not the partition) where it asks "what to backup"
    5) On the Backup Destination page, select "Save data to any local drive or a network share"
    6) Hit the radio button for the "Save to local drive option" (unless you got a boatload of DVD's )
    7) Select the external USB drive as the backup destination
    8) Look over and correct the name and comments
    9) Hit Next to start the backup
    When it's done, you have an entire copy of your Mac's HD saved to external media.
    If you need to recover your HD, just run the Recovery Wizard and reverse the process.
    I hope this helps to get you started. Good luck.

  • Can I make a disk image of my macbook pro for backup?

    Can I make a disk image of my macbook pro for backup? I'm using Lion, have 8 g memory and 500 HDD.

    Clone Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    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.
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    DU will also clone the Recovery HD partition automatically at the end of the process.

  • 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..

  • How to make a backup Snow Leopard StartUp DVD?

    I thought I was all set on Hard Drive Repair since I could boot from an external La Cie Hard Drive (FW800). But that didn't work - Disk Utility couldn't "UNMOUNT" my internal 500 gb HD in my MBP-13" (April 2010 model) when I started-up on an external HD.
    So I used the original StartUp DVD and all worked fine. NOW I WANT a copy of that StartUp DVD to carry with me - don't want to risk taking the original DVD. OK so I burn a disk image - 7.34 gb in size - and try to burn a DVD - well of course, not enough space… I used a 4.7 gb DVD…
    What to do? Can my MBP-13" burn a single-sided DVD with 7.34 gb capacity? If so, where do I find such a DVD? If not- what to do? How to duplicate this disk for emergency startups and HD repairs?
    Thanks very much.
    Best regards,

    Thanks for the fast reply! OK but how do I do that? I need to make a bootable "SD" card, right? If I just copy the Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg to the card, it won't be bootable, will it? And if I open it, and copy all the contents, it is only 950 mb or so - don't think that is the answer either…
    Thanks for any further comments on how to take this disk image that I created and get it to an 8 gb SD card (which I have) so that it becomes the bootable drive and so that I can repair my HD if needed when traveling etc.
    Best,

  • How to make a good quality 8 Giga DVD out of a Project in AVI of 14 Gigas?I have a film in a proyect

    How to make a good quality 8 Giga DVD out of a Project in AVI of 14 Gigas?
    I have a film in a proyect made with a miniDV camera in my old Premiere 6.5
      It has 68 minutes and after exporting it with the Microsoft DV AVI compressor in 100 % quality and not compressing the audio, it  ended in an AVI of 14 Gigas.
    I would like to obtain a DVD of the best quality in audio and video possible. How can I do it?  SHOULD I EXPORT IT FROM THE PREMIERE 6.5 WITH ANOTHER COMPRESSOR OR IN LESS THAN 100% QUALITY WITH THE SAME DV AVI COMPRESSOR ? my INTENTION IS TO USE THE NERO VISION AFTERWARDS... I HAVE THE NERO VISION 4...-. FROM 2007- WOULD IT BE OK OR IS THERE A BETTER ONE? - I know there are newer ones...but better?
    I HAVE POSTED THIS A FEW DAYS AGO. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE THAT REPIED. BUT I THINK MY QUESTION IS NOTFULLY ANSWERED YET.
    i NEED THE BEST QUALITY I CAN GET, EVEN WHITH MY PREMIERE 6.5, BECAUSE IT IS A FEATURE FILM THAT TOOK ME SEVERAL YEARS AND THIS LAST REMAKE IS NOW READY AFTER TOO MUCH WORK.
    THANKS A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Thanks for your replys and sorry for being so fussy about this.
    I have now seen that one of the options for exporting from Premiere 6.5 is Adobe MPEG encoder. So Do you guys think it would be a good idea to do it with that, Or Would it be better AVI or DV AVI compressor from Premiere before making the DVD?
    I have the Nero Vision 4.9.6.6  But I may be able to look for another one if you think it is better...
    Thanks a lot for your advises...

  • 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

  • IDVD 6, no audio on disk image or burned DVD

    Seems I've just been plagued with this problem as well, and the first time I noticed it was after accepting an upgrade from iDVD 6.02 to iDVD 6.04 as well as a firmware update.
    Audio from imported .avi files plays fine in the iDVD preview and even played perfectly on disk images and burned DVDs, but now there is only audio in the video I dropped into a background drop zone, and no audio in the two movies. During a second burn, still no audio in the movies but audio for the first 5 seconds of the loop of the background movie. I should mention, prior to updating, these .avi files were burned perfectly. So this is very erratic.
    I used appzapper to remove iDVD 6.04 and reinstalled 6.02, but the problem persists. I'm wondering *if any others have experienced the same issue after some form of "upgrade"*. If there was only some way to revert back to the old firmware I would. A few other updates took place as well, but I can't remember exactly what was done.
    Quite ridiculous for updates which are supposed so solve issues, just create them.
    Any new fixes for this apparently popular problem? Is there a way to revert back to my old firmware?

    Have you updated to QuickTime 7.1.2?
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. 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. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. 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 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 do i make a disk image strait out of DVDSP

    So I usually only make one copy of a disc at a time by chosing build and burn. But the other day I made 10 copies of a disc and to make them i just drag and dropped the audio and video ts folders from the folder they were saved in to the disc image of a blank disc. Needless to say none of the discs worked. What is the process to correctly do this. Can i make a disc image from dvdsp3? Cause i know how to burn disc images from disc utility

    In order for a DVD to play back correctly in a set-top player, the discs have to be formatted using the UDF file system. I believe that Disk Utility only creates HFS+ file systems; therefore, you were basically making pure DVD-ROM discs of the Video_TS directory, which wouldn't play back normally in a standard set-top DVD player (but might play back ok in a DVD-ROM software player).
    You can easily burn true DVD discs in a DVD-R burning program like Toast - just select the UDF option and drag the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders into the root directory of the Toast window.
    Technically, you don't even need to bring in the Audio_TS folder, but it doesn't hurt (and some versions of Toast caused the contents of the Video_TS folder to end up in the root without a folder if you tried dragging just the Video_TS folder by itself - the contents NOT being in a folder called Video_TS, won't work in a DVD player either).
