burning an ISO file to DVD 2 [Solved]

Okay, so I have these instructions to follow in order to put an ISO file onto a dvd and have it work on a DVD player.


HOW TO PLAY ON A DVD-PLAYER:
1. Mount image with deamon-tools.
2. Then use dvd-shrink and make a back-up.
3. When you have finished nr.2 dvd-shrink goes automaticly to Nero who burns the back-up you just made with dvd-shrink.


I have nero and just downloaded deamon-tools, but I don't fully understand how I'm suppose to do this. I guess I'm looking for someone to give me more detailed instructions?

Thanks guys.

    that's a very roundabout way to burn an ISO file.

    download imgburn, and just burn it, you don't have to make a backup of the file.

    If you have Nero, just click the DVD section, choose "burn image to cd", load the iso* and away you go.

    *menus may vary depending on Nero version

    The thing is I already tried this one way option through NeroRom, and this ended with the DVD not playing on DVD players, just the computer. I'm not sure why. But these are apparantly the instructions to get them to play on the DVD player.

    So would imgburn work? Thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate it!

    Nero burning an ISO to disc is exactly what anything else will do when you tell it to burn an ISO to disc. Make sure you finalize it.

    The DVDShrink step should only be necessary if the disc is region-coded for someplace other than where you live.

    It's a checkbox in the burn options in Nero.
