Burning VIDEO_TS on OSX


I was trying to burn a folder with a VIDEO_TS directory onto a DVD. But in a way that it will start in a normal DVD player as well as starting automagically. And this all had to be done on Apple’s OSX.

I googled a little and tried some things and this is what I can up with:

hdiutil makehybrid -udf			\
	-udf-volume-name DVD_NAME	\
	-o MY_DVD.iso				\
	/path/to/VIDEO_TS/parent/folder

Make sure that /path/to/VIDEO_TS/parent/folder is the path to the folder containing the VIDEO_TS folder, not the VIDEO_TS folder itself.`

After that, the resulting MY_DVD.iso can easily be burned with burn
