If you have a dual-format DVD Recorder (some iMacs and G5s), you can use iDVD and Disk Utility to get the video on to DVD+R format. First, create your project as normal, and burn it to a DVD-R disc. Then take use Disk Utility to make a disc image and save it as a .CDR file. Then insert a DVD+R disc, click your disk image in the Disk Utility window, and then burn it to disc.

Burn iDVD Video projects onto DVD+R/RW
Sorry, nt to put a tip down, but what's the point? There's nothing special in imaging an existing disk, and reburning it to DVD+R.

The whole point of this 'tip' was to show how iDVD can record to a disc in the +R/+RW format.

The big question would be: Will the DVD+R work on an ordinary DVD Player? If I can recall, some DVD+R's don't work on older DVD players ... well, mine doesn't but will take DVD-R's.

The reason for wanting to put iDVD projects on a DVD+R disc is for some DVD players that don't like DVD-R discs, or ones that DVD-Rs don't behave properly in. Although this is only a small percentage of DVD players, it may be handy to burn projects to a different format, especially if you are sending discs to a friend that has a Philips DVD player - who definitely prefer DVD+R/RW discs.
DVD-RW
could you allow iDVD to burn on a DVD-RW disc instead of a DVD-RI've never tried this personally, but supposedly iDVD can be made to record to DVD-RW (even though it doesn't want to). What you do is insert a DVD-R disk and click record. The actually recording doesn't happen immediately though; iDVD needs to do some encoding. During that time you can eject the DVD-R disk and put in a DVD-RW and iDVD is none the wiser.

I agree with the previous, this isn't tip-worthy, or at the very least the subject should be changed. All the tip describes is how to duplicate a non-copy-protected DVD using Disk Utility. iDVD and +/- have nothing to do with it.

Thanks for the excellent tip. I had wondered how or if it was possible to burn DVD+R as I wasn't sure that the disk images writing protocol was exactly the same as DVD-R. I presume the "drivers" for a dual format drive can sense the media type - DV+R and not DVD-R and adjust the very low level commands to move writ arms and heads or whatever is inside a disk drive. All this without iDVD needing to know exactly what it is writing to. And obviously copying to an external DVD+R drive is also supported. I had assumed until now that given that Superdrives are DVD-R and Apple software specs etc always point to DVD-R then Apple were solely in the DVD-R camp and deliberately didn't support DVD+R. |
