Create DVD data that can be read on Mac/Windows with Mac disc utility method

2016.5.17

I’ve never paid much attention to Windows when delivering data to companies on DVD I’m not sure if this is a good idea.

Production Environment

• MacOSX 10.9.5
• Disk Utility 13 (517)

Confirmation Environment

• MacOSX 10.9.5
• Windows 7 Home Premium

1.Create the data for the DVD you want to burn

Put the data you want to burn into a directory. It is safe to use one-byte alphanumeric characters in the file name.

2.Add a new directory that you created

In the Disk Utility menu, select File→New→Disk Image from Folder. Select and select the directory you just created.

3.You will be asked where you want to save the file, so set it as follows.

• Image format: Hybrid image (HFS+/ISO/UDF)
• Encryption: None.

4.Burn the .dmg file to DVD

The .dmg you created is mounted in Disk Utility. Click the “Create DVD” button to create a DVD.
