    I have a iso image of a movie, which was ripped from a DVD-R. I wana try to burn those images to a DVD+R but if fails.

    What free software, or which is the best non-free software which can burn a DVD-R ISO image to a DVD+R?

    The best software for that is ImgBurn. If you still get errors with ImgBurn, there are other things to try. First, you need to make sure that your ISO image is not corrupted. You can mount your ISO to a virtual optical drive and check if it works. Then you can update the firmware of your DVD writer. It does not matter to rip from DVD-R or DVD+R. They can all be converted to ISO and recorded to any type of DVD media as long as the media size is sufficient.

    Like Mepher C. Palavuzlar said, ImgBurn is a great option. I just want to add that not all dvd players can play DVD+R dvd's. DVD-R is much more widely supported. You might be able to find more information about your dvd player online.

    Some more details would be nice. The software you are currently using to burn the image and the error message would be useful. If there is no error message, describe the symptoms.

    What software can be recommended to burn a Mac created .DMG file on a Windows operating system? Ideally it should be free, or at least reasonably priced.

    Or, as an alternative, an application convert it to .ISO or something equivalent?

    I'm looking for reassurance I won't be wasting several (more expensive than normal DVDs) dual layer DVDs to get this done right. As the .DMG file is 7 GB.

    I have used dmg2img with success.

    1. Download dmg2img.

    2. Extract it with your favorite ZIP utility (for example, 7-zip) into a new folder.

    3. Holy Shift and right-click the folder, then click Open command window here.

    4. Simply call dmg2img with the file name of your .dmg file as the first parameter
      (Hint, you can drag & drop the file into the command prompt to get the file name inserted on the command line).

    This is what worked for me:

    I have Windows 7 64-bit and needed to burn a 6.36 GB 10.6.3 Snow Leopard image to a DL DVD on my PC to install on a Macbook Pro. I am no stranger to PCs as a repair technician, but I have little experience with Macs.

    I used Power ISO 4.7 in Windows 7, selected the "Tools" and then the "burn" pull down menu. Point to the .DMG image file on your PC and have a DVD/CD in the burner big enough to hold the image, select your burn speed and that is it.

    Hold the "C" down after you press the power button on the Mac and hear the Apple tone to boot to the new image.

    I did use my Windows 7 DVD to wipe all partitions from the Macbook as that was what I was familiar with. I was then able to create a new partition with the Mac OS DVD I created.
