Third-party tools


Which tools are out there?
Currently a lot of free and commercial DVD mastering and burning tools are available.
If you want to image and burn an DVD recordable with no additional costs you can use DVD Imager to create your DVD disk image and then burn it using Disk Copy from Apple. Also commercial tools are available like Roxio's Toast and Charismac's Discribe, The advantage of these burning tools is that it is not necessary to create an disk image on forehand.

How to use DVD Imager
Just drop any VIDEO_TS folder onto its icon (DVD Imager will create the AUDIO_TS folder for you), click Create, and choose the location where you want the image saved. Destination should be on a local volume. DVD Imager will prompt you to name the image volume, then it will create the disk image and quit. If you have a DVD burner, you should then be able to create a new DVD disk from the image you made with DVD Imager using the Burn Image command in Disk Copy.

How to burn from Apple DiskCopy

Start Disk Copy (OS X utilities folder) and choose Burn Image from the file-menu. Now select the created image and click burn. That's all.
