When burning iso with disk utility, the audio is off!

I have an ISO file that works fine when I mount it or watch it on VLC.   If I burn it using windows (in parallels) it is fine...
But when I burn it with disk utility, the audio is off by a second or so.  I can't figure this out since it is a disk image.  there shouldn't be a way to dissociate the audio.  I did have a previous version of the iso file that was off..  Is it possible that I am trying to burn an iso file and it is burning a mounted version from before (even though I am choosing this from the finder?)
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I though macs just work.  Seems a bit more complicated.

I don't recall for sure about "disk utility" and DVD and/or Bluray. It seems to me that Toast is usually used.

  • Burning .iso with Disk Utility (Mac)?

    Anyone doing this? I read it can be done but I just tried and it didn't work.
    It's been a long 72 hours or so trying different ways to get my 82-minute 3D feature to various bluray permutaions (i.e. side by side, red-cyan, and of course, 2D) (saving the MVC multiplexing for another day).
    Anyway, I was hoping I could just make an .iso image in Encore and then burn multiple copies with Disk Utility. Some sources say it can be done, but it didn't work on my 10.8 iMac. Thanks, all!

  • Problem burning disc with Disk Utility

    I made a DVD in iDVD. I checked to see how big the project was and I had only used 1.2G or the 4G available. I then did "save as disc image" to my desktop. After that was completed, which took over 2 hours, I tried to use Disk Utility to burn a DVD. When I insert the DVD it says there is not enough space available. I then check my project in iDVD and the line that tells the amount of space used is completely red (all used up and over). I completely shut down iDVD and reopen and the project is back at the 1.2G size. It's a relatively small project so I'm fairly sure that it really is 1.2 and not over the limit.
    I tried this procedure twice to make sure there was enough space when I start the whole process.
    In the very beginning I tried to burn the project within iDVD. It burned and ejected but the screen didn't reflect that it had finished and did not ask if I wanted to burn another disc. The screen said it was still finishing the burn. The disc had ejected and it played just fine on my t.v. The only problem with this way is that I need to make lots of copies of this and having to force quit and start again makes every disc take approx. 2-1/2 hours each.

    Evidently I'm not understanding what you are asking.
    When I'm in iDVD I go under Project and click
    "Project Info". Project Duration is 36:01 minutes.
    In DVD Capacity it says 1.0 GB of 4.2 GB is being
    used. I thought that was what you were wanting.
    Thank you for your help. If you could tell me where
    to look for the info you want I will do it promptly.
    The Project Information probably doesn't include the DVD-ROM contents you want to include (and it's only a poor guess at what will be actually needed).
    If your project is 36 minutes, I would expect it to actually require over 2 GB of DVD space with either 'Best Performance' or 'Best Quality' selected.
    It was my understanding at the start that you HAD created a disk image file on your hard drive of your iDVD project. Is this true? This WOULD include the DVD-ROM area if things went well. I am asking you to tell me the actual size of this disk image file (click on it to select it and then select File>Get Info).
    I suspect the size of the DVD-ROM area you want to create is causing your problems. Are all the digital images you want to include in the DVD-ROM area in one folder? If so, what is the size of this folder (click on it to select it and then select File>Get Info)?

  • I need to erase free space on my hard drive.  But when I am in disk utility the format and name are pale as is the erase free space button so I cannot erase free space.

    My start up disk is full.  I have been through my computer and erased a lot of music and video to free some space.  I then went to disk utility to erase free space and find that the erase free space button is pale and therefore won't work.  Nor can I select or deselect MacOS extended journaled.
    Advice please?!

    Recovering Disk Space
    If you have less than 20% disk space then it is time to roll up your sleeves and search for what you can delete and what you can offload to another disk.
    If you have less than 10 GB you definitely need to delete or offload some files or purchase a lager disk or SSD (see below).  You may want to maintain at least 20 GB of free space so when your disk starts filling again it will have some room before it hits that 10 GB mark again.  More headroom is better.  If you let the space fall much below 9 GB you might not be able to boot your machine.
    Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
    - Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
      Empty the Trash.
    - Start iPhoto.
      Empty its trash.
      Restart.
    - Restart in Safe Mode:
      Restart the computer.
      As soon as you hear the chime press and hold the right shift key.
      Be patient. Hold it down until you see the Apple icon.
      Empty the trash.
      Restart in normal mode.
    - Delete "Recovered Messages", if any.
        Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
        Select "Library" from the drop down menu.
        Library > Mail > V2 > Mailboxes
        Delete "Recovered Messages", if any.
    - Empty the Trash.
    - Restart.
    - Re-index your system disk (Macintosh HD):
      http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
    Time Machine Snapshots:
    If your disk is 80% full that is normal.  Time Machine uses up to 80% of the disk space for local snapshots.  To get rid of these snapshots simply plug in your Time Machine backup drive and run a backup.  See About Time Machine's 'local snapshots' on Mac notebooks: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878 and What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/30.html .
    If you are concerned that the “Other” category of disk usage is taking too much space and for information on deleting files then look here:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
    Backup:
    Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions.  You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second if you plan to offload some files.  (See suggestions for where to purchase hard drives at the end of this message.)
    For more about backups:
    Time Machine Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427

    Methodology to protect your data.  Backups vs. Archives.  Long-term data protection:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6031
    Deleting files:
    Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first.  Delete with caution and do not delete any system files.  Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
    Additional reference on freeing disk space:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
    Offloading files:
    Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk.  Use ODS again to find them.  As noted above this will be at least your second hard drive.  Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s).  Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
    Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled).  Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
    Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
    Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

    Hardware — Bigger disk/SSD:
    If your system has upgradeable storage then if you are still tight on disk space consider larger storage.  If you have a disk consider replacing it with a one TB disk.  Check out a one terabyte HGST 7K1000 7200 rpm, SATA III drive from OWC http://eshop.macsales.com ($100).  If you have an SSD consider increasing its capacity to 240 or 480 GB.  A standard 240 GB SSD would cost from $200 to $280. See OWC and Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ for options.  OWC sells 120, 240 and 480 GB SSD upgrades for MacBook Airs.  A 240 GB upgrade costs $265.   http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/ .  If your Mac is under warranty or AppleCare replacing the SSD will void the warranty.

  • Help burning DVD with Disk Utility

    I have a Mac Mini with a SuperDrive.
    System Profiler confirms that I can write a DVD-R:
    But Disk Utility won't let me burn a DVD. With a brand spanking new blank DVD-R in the drive, it says "Write Ability: Read Only":
    What's the problem, and how do I burn my .dmg disk image?
    Mac Mini Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Eject the disk.
    In disk Utility, select the disk image file and click the burn button.
    A drop down window should appear and ask for a blank disk. Insert the disk.
    Soon the window should change and show burn options, and the burn button at the bottom right should turn blue. Choose any options you need and click the blue burn button.

  • When burning edited footage to DVD the audio levels are low.

    I have edited video footage in FCPX for which the audio levels appear fine but when I burn it to DVD and watch the footage, the audio is very low. I have then increased all audio levels in the editing footage to + 12db and burned it to DVD again. Even thgough some of the audio are downloaded tracks from itunes all audio still seem to be quite low.
    Am I doing something wrong.

    Is your project audio set to surround or stereo?
    In the project list select the project and then click on the spanner icon at bottom right of inspector.
    It will tell you. and you can change to stereo if that is what you would normally use.

  • Burn ISO to USB or external HD with Disk Utility

    I am desperately trying to burn a ISO file to a USB and external HD but Disk Utility does not want to. Instead I get the error message "Could not validate source - error 254". So there must be a problem with the source which is the ISO file.
    I already tried setting the Partition Map Scheme to both Master Boot Record and GUID Partition Table. I also formatted the drive to FAT and HFS+. I cannot find the cause of this error. It clearly looks like Disk Utility does not like burning ISOs to USBs or HDs.
    However, I really really need to this since I cannot burn ISOs with my SuperDrive which is also a common problem ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1918925&start=0&tstart=0 ) with my MacBook Pro.
    I am 100% sure the ISO file is fine. Also checked the SHA-1 and everything else is fine. I should also mention that the ISO file is the Windows 7 RC. So yeah..this time it's not Windows' fault.
    I just need a way to install Windows without using the optical drive. I don't even want to think about what I will do when Snow Leopard comes out...

    Start with the google hits for a search of *error 254 disk utility.*

    Were you trying to repair the disk you were booted from? You can't do that - you need to boot from your install disk, and choose 'Disk Utility' from the 'install' menu.

  • Why don't I see the log when I repair permissions with Disk Utility

    I'm having issues with Safari hanging or bogging down to a snail's pace lately. I have tried several times to repair permissions with Disk Utility. It runs for several minutes, but shows nothing in the log even though the box is checked to show details. I've never seen this before. I don't know if Disk Utility is doing it's job or not....
    Any thoughts?

    If the progress bar goes to the end, then you don't have any permissions needing repair. The fact that Safari is slowing down has nothing really to do with permissions.

  • Can't play cd burned with disk utility

    but the cd that i burned is not recognized by itunes or a regular cd player. can anybody offer any insight into what i may be doing wrong? i have burned cds using itunes and have had no problems with them in my player or computer, but i wanted to use disk utility for cds that i don't want on my hard drive.
    cheers,
    greg

    gregod,
    I ran across this sequence of instructions that may help when you are using Disk Utility to copy a disc:
    4. From the menubar select File->New->Disk image from disk...
    5. In the Convert window that appears select where you want to save the image - the Desktop is as good a place as any.
    6. Again, in the Convert window select DVD/CD Master from the Image Format drop down menu
    7. Click Save
    I think the choice of DVD/CD Master needs to be made.
    Hope this works. Let me know.
    Regards,
    Steve M.

  • My disk utility option to turn off encryption does not highlight so I can't turn off the encryption of my external hard drive with time machine back up

    I have an iMac and Retina MBP. I use Time Capsule for backup of iMac and I wanted to use an external hard drive attached to time capsule as time machine backup. The problem is that I encrypted previously that external hard drive and now Time Capsule does not recognize it.
    When I try to turn off encryption with Disk Utility, that option is not highlighted so I cannot use it.
    I tried with terminal but it answers The given UUID is a not a CoreStorage Logical Volume UUID

    Can you plug in the hard drive directly to your MBP and then decrypt the hard drive?  You should be able to do this by opening up Finder and then either right clicking the hard drive (holding down two fingers and clicking) or holding down ctrl and then clicking on the hard drive.

    I start my macbook air up and a file comes up with a question mark. When I go to Disk Utility I go to update things or erase everything and my disks don't show up or anything. Anyone know what to do?

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by:
    Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
    Boot From 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.

    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
