How to Burn an .ISO File with Your Mac [VIDEO]

April 30, 2011 by Ian Brown No Comments

Want to know how to burn an .ISO file with your Mac? Here’s a quick video that I made that walks you through the entire process.

If you’re not sure what an .ISO file is, it’s simply a disk image file that, when you burn it to a CD, it creates an exact duplicate of the CD that the ISO file was made from. You usually download an ISO file from the Internet so you can burn it to CD.

Here’s the video:

And here are the written instructions on how to do it so you have them:

1. Insert a blank CD into your Mac
2. Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Go to File
4. Select “Open Disk Image”
5. Browse to the .ISO file you want to burn
6. Click Open
7. Click on .ISO file listed on left side of Disk Utility
8. Click the “Burn” icon at the top of the Disk Utility window
9. Select “Eject Disk” or “Mount on Desktop” to choose what you want it to do after it finishes burning
10. Click Burn (it may take longer to burn your ISO file; SeaTools is only 8.9MB in size)
11. It should come up with the message, “Image “Name of .ISO File” burned successfully.”
12. The disk will either eject automatically or appear on your Desktop, depending on what you chose in Step #9
13. Double-click on the CD to make sure the files got burned to the CD (insert the CD again if it you chose for it to eject automatically)
14. Done!
