The reason I wanted to convert is because there seems to be a difference in behavior between an.iso and a.dmg, specifically one in Universal Disk Format. With a.dmg in UDF you can mount a DVD image and then play it directly using DVD Player (File Open DVD Media) without having to burn it first. That's a pretty convenient way to access all my iDVD creations, for example.

As far as I can tell, though, the above formula doesn't work - i.e. The image still won't be playable from 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. Mount the ISO 2.

In Disk Utility choose New Disk Image From Folder 3. 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. Interesting - perhaps I'm characterizing the issue incorrectly then.

Basically I had several DVD images created in iDVD and only one of them didn't 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. What's the point? I see no problem. Using iMovie and iDVD isn't simple as taking a breath, is it?

Should you only watch the movie on your Mac then don't 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. IDVD coverts iMovie compilations into VIDEOTS structure with ease, naturally seen on Macs only, thank Jesus and Bill and Apple staff!!!!

The point being made was that there is a technical difference in the two formats that was causing your solution not to work. 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. You allude, with the legal comment, that this might possibly be warez.

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. Please continue to work that way!
