Help! How do I use this thing?

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Can anyone give me step-by-step (or point me to a place that will give me this) instructions on how to use HandBrake to download my .dmg file of a DVD that I just created into iDVD? Mac Support told me I had to download Handbrake (or similar software) in order to get the .dmg file into iDVD so I can burn it. But I don't have a clue on how to do to do this! (I'm not a techie)

To repeat, I need to somehow get my .dmg file I just created (a copy of my original disk) into iDVD so I can burn it onto a blank DVD. I have a DVD burner on my new MacBook Pro.

Thanks for any help someone can give me on this.

Hi

If it's a straight-forward copy of the whole disk image you need, you do not need to use HandBrake for that.

(assuming that the disk image is small enough to fit onto your DVD media - if it isn't, you may need to re-compress the video perhaps using something like DVD2OneX etc)

You can use "Disk Utility" to either create a disk image, or burn a disk image to DVD (or CD) media.

In Finder, go to Applications -> System Utilities.
(Shift + Command + U is the shortcut)
Then run "Disk Utility".

Click on the "Burn" icon at the top

In the pop-up dialogue box, navigate to the disk image you have created, and click Burn.

<insert blank media into the SuperDrive and the process will complete>

Hope this Helps!

Mike
