How to Burn a Playable DVD from a VIDEO_TS Folder
Comments

You missed one option: -udf. Without it, it still makes the image in the mac dvd format. The command should be hdiutil makehybrid -udf -udf-volume-name DVDNAME -o ~/Desktop/filename.iso ~/Desktop

perfect, especially with Lee Swain's help. Thanks

Should have told people to put the VIDEO_TS folder into a folder on the desktop named DVD then use the following command - hdiutil makehybrid -udf-volume-name DVDNAME -o ~/Desktop/DVD/filename.iso ~/Desktop/DVD That would prevent creating an ISO with the entire desktop in it, LOL

Using your technique on a Video_TS folder of 4.68 GB i get an ISO of 9.02 GB that won't fit on a double layer DVD of 8.5 GB. Any way to produce a DVD closer to the size of the original Video_TS folder?

For further clarification, usage of hdiutil is as follows:
Usage: hdiutil makehybrid -o \ \
\ specifies the source folder.
For complete help, type:
hdiutil makehybrid -h.

For further clarification, this is the usage of hdiutil: Usage: hdiutil makehybrid -o specifies the output .iso file. specifies the source folder. For additional info, type hdiutil makehybrid -help.

Please clarify that no other file or folder should be on Desktop, because that command copies everything on Desktop to the iso. Thanks.

Oh Alexandra, it's an important info. Thanks to share!
