I had a VIDEO_TS folder with VOB files that I wanted to burn to a DVD in order to be able to play it on our DVD player.
The first step was to create an ISO image. This can be done with a tool that comes with MacOS. Open a terminal and enter the following:
hdiutil makehybrid -udf -udf-volume-name "<volume name>" -o /target/image.iso \
/path/to/parent/folder/
Make sure you specify the folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folder as the source folder in the above command line. Parallel to the VIDEO_TS folder you should also have an (empty) AUDIO_TS folder. Also make sure that there is no .DS_Store file (remove from terminal if present.) And note that the above is one logical line (the \ is a line break).
So, how do you write the ISO file to a DVD?
