How to Burn .ISO in Mac OS X

5 September 2009 by Vinay 3 Comments

It’s an obvious hint for those who are using Mac from ages, but for someone who just migrated from Windows will Google a third party app like Nero or Power ISO to burn .ISO or Image files in Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard. Mac OS X has a inbuilt Disk Utility created by Apple for performing disk-related tasks in Mac OS X. Disk Utility is able to create, convert, compress and encryption of disk images from a wide range of formats read by Disk Utility to .dmg or—for CD/DVD images—.cdr, which is identical to the .iso format. So if you ever need to burn a Image file or .ISO file then simply launch the Disk Utility and perform the following steps.

Insert a blank disc in your DVD Drive and start Disk Utility.
From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
