DVD Creation
DVD Creation From File
Using Terminal
- Run make_dvd_iso.sh
- We have a script called make_dvd_iso.sh (attached).
- If you already have it installed on your machine, simply run the following two scripts in Terminal:
- cd (directory)
- make_dvd_iso.sh *
- **Install make_dvd.iso.sh
- In order for the script to work, your computer needs to have the following installed: ffmpeg, ffprobe, dvdauthor, and cdrtools. If you don’t have these, submit a ticket to get them installed (or use homebrew). If you don’t have the script installed, do the following:
- Install, update, or upgrade Homebrew
- Download the attached make_dvd-iso.sh script
- Move the script to the /usr/location/bin folder and change permissions
- cd (directory that make_dvd_iso is in)
- mv make_dvd_iso.sh /usr/local/bin
- cd /usr/local/bin
- chmod 777 make_dvd_iso.sh
- Install dvdauthor & cdrtools
- brew install dvdauthor
- brew install cdrtools If your original files do not have a “.mov” wrapper, change that part in the command as well
- In order for the script to work, your computer needs to have the following installed: ffmpeg, ffprobe, dvdauthor, and cdrtools. If you don’t have these, submit a ticket to get them installed (or use homebrew). If you don’t have the script installed, do the following:
Burning an ISO to DVD
- Put in blank disk*
- Right click on the ISO file and choose “Burn [file name] to disk”
- Keep ISO file, we give them to clients when they request DVDs
*DVD stock should be: DVD-R Inkjet Printable (also known as “hub printable). We like the Verbatim brands.
Labeling a DVD
- As of this writing, we use the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer (Barcode 102181) to print CDs. We are still using a rather antiquated software to print from: Epson Print CD 2.0. The extension of Epson files is .printcd2.
