does anyone know how to mount iso files on mac, maybe even a simple program that i could use to accomplish this? thanks in advance
Umm... DiskImageMounter is part of OS X. Should be able to simply double click on the file to mount the image. Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities will burn the ISO files to CDs/DVDs.
yea, just double click the file, and you should have a white drive looking image on your desktop. if you see that, it means you did it right.
To further this convo: does anyone know what program is best for ripping a dvd into ISO format of a MAC. Most of the software I have sen for MAC converts the DVD files into AVI, MKV, etc. Most don't seem to have ISO as a possible format.
I use "Toast" to make an image file(.ISO) after I have ripped the DVD to Video_TS folders. You just take the folders and add them to toast as if you were going to burn them to dvd. Right next to the "burn" option it has a button to "make image file", just click and wait a few minutes and you have an image( ISO file)
I followed your advice and created an image file using popcorn/toast....(same thing!) I noticed that both Toast and Popcorn with save the file under the file exctention of ".toast" rather than ".iso". Will this make a difference upon playback on a pc?
When it turns the file into an image file(.ISO), it will say ".Toast" instead. Just highlight the ".toast" part and rename it ".ISO" it will work for all systems I have found out. I had problems for a while with image files named .toast, I just renamed it to .iso and it works with my Mac and PC. As well as my WD HD TV device. Via HDMI cable
