Hdiutil Convert Dmg To Iso File Before

Make a copy of your.iso file before you use this command, just in case.

Thats a pretty convenient way to access all my iDVD creations, for example.

As far as I can tell, though, the above formula doesnt work -- i.e.

DVD Player, and shows up as ISO-9660 instead of UDF in Disk Utility.

I poked around a bit more and it seems that the only way I was able to do it was to: 1.

Select the mounted source that you want to convert (not the image file) 4.

Choose hybrid from the image format dropdown It should then create a new.dmg file that should mount and be playable in DVD Player.

Basically I had several DVD images created in iDVD and only one of them didnt play when mounted.

The only difference I could find was that the non-working one showed up as being ISO-9660 in Disk Utility while the working ones showed up as UDF.

I actually have no idea why they would be different in the first place but I must have done something different when creating them.

Anyway, the above process allowed me to create a new image from the old one that played in DVD Player on my system.

Cheers.

If you have an a legal.iso copy of a movie DVD, then the MacOS X DVD Player will play it just like a set top deck.

Mpeg4 should be OK to import directly into iMovie - no conversion should be necessary.

In my personal experience, redownloading sometimes works but it is a guarantee by no means.

This means that it may not be possible to get a good copy until an updated version is posted.

Using iMovie and iDVD isnt simple as taking a breath, is it Should you only watch the movie on your Mac then dont use VideoDVD FS (I mean VIDEOTS) structure at ALL Store your video projects as MP4 compilations, use iTunes to catalog them, watch them any time and make a VideoDVD out of them as soon as you want it.

Choose whatever you like and get fun I use iSkySoft iMedia Converter, HandBrake.

Telling him to just click on it is completely missing the point that he was having issues with that.

He did his homework and found out there was a difference between the two, and was pointing out the technical differentiation between the working and the non working.

Since this worked previously for him, if it was indeed warez he would realize that simply making an image of a movie DVD does not mean it will work since there are such measures as block encryption, block shifting, and combinations of other techniques that would, in most cases, result in a useless image without help from tools like daemon tools.

The the original poster, good job You would be truly surprised at how few people take the time to acertain what the issue actually is, and rarely go to the low level you took it to.
