Be Failed to Burn ISO to DVD on Mac? Look Here!
In our daily life, most of us may meet these situations.
Situation 1: Do you see some really good movies at friends home? When you get the videos from your friends, but sadly to find that you can’t play it on your Mac. What do you do next?
Situation 2: Have you ever tried to play the ISO file on Mac, but failed in without virtual drive? What do you do next?
As far as I’m concerned, burning ISO files on Mac maybe a good choice.
At least we can play different video formats on Mac, no need to install different playing software for MP4, MKV, AVI or WMV…[we can burn piece of videos into one DVD]
Tips:
If we want to watch videos, we need hardware (TV, computer, phone…), software (Windows Media Player, F2FSoft Blu-ray Player) and videos. Different videos have different requirements for hardware and software, in other word, that’s why some videos can be played on your friends computer while can't be played on yours.
So burning your videos to a common format [like DVD] is the best way. DVD can be played on TV and computer as you wish.
When it comes to burn DVD on Mac, technical speaking, we just need to prepare a computer, DVD player, a blank and re-writable DVD and the DVD burning software.
But, there a one thing needs to be mentioned.
In order to improve the outlook of Mac computer, Apple made some changes on Mac.
Mac can be divided into three types:
MacBook Air: No Optical Drive;
New MacBook: No Optical Drive;
MacBook Pro:
(1) MacBook Pro Retina screen doesn’t have an optical drive, which is characterized by high resolution, body thickness of 1.8 cm.
(2) Ordinary screen MacBook Pro is an old model, only a machine MD101, with a suction drive; optical drive position on the right side of the fuselage.
So, if your Mac doesn’t have the Optical Drive, we need to prepare an external Optical Drive.
Tip:
Optical Drive/DVD Player is the DVD drive where you can put DVD into it.
Now, let’s begin our business, burning ISO to DVD on Mac.
