I have a dmg file (3.7 GB) which is a video and I can play it on my mac, I am trying to burn it on a dvd so i can play it on a dvd player or my playstation, i am able to successfully burn it but it still doesn't play neither on a DVD player nor my playstation, i tried a pc too but still doesn't read it...the dmg file is encrypted, I was wondering if this was the problem, will decrypting solve this or there is another issue... any suggestion is very much appreciated!
Answer
To find the password of any encrypted file, contact the person who made it. I wish there was some other way, but there is not. The reason for the password is so you cannot use it without the password. The guy didn't put a password on it just to make you look around on websites and ask here at Yahoo Answers and waste half a day. He did it to STOP YOU FROM USING THE FILE. Why would he do that? No idea. Ask him.
"I have a dmg file (3.7 GB) which is a video"
Not really true. A DMG file is a disk image. The file INSIDE the disk image COULD be a movie file--or not. If it is a bunch of files, such as "VIDEO_TS" and others, it is a group of files that together make a DVD. Typically, you simply drag those files to a blank DVD and click the burn icon. To tell us what the heck is in the disk image, double-click it to mount it, and look at the file extension of the file (extension is the part AFTER the dot).
If this DMG has the folder "VIDEO_TS" and such, you can extract a compressed movie file from it using Handbrake.
To use a compressed movie file in Windows 7, these formats work....
"Windows Media Player 12 has built-in support for many popular audio and video formatsâincluding 3GP, AAC, AVCHD, MPEG-4, WMV, and WMA. It also supports most AVI, DivX, MOV, and Xvid files." --from the 1st link below
If the stuff inside the DMG is not a complete set of folders/files for a DVD, but is instead a compressed movie file, you can still use that file to make a DVD movie disc, although the quality will typically be lower than that of a commerical DVD movie disc. To make a DVD movie disc on a Mac....
-- If your computer is not 2011 or later model, it came with iDVD (which happens to be discontinued now). Use it. iMovie is the app that came with your Mac for editing movies. Then it has an option to Export to iDVD, which has a Help menu, and if that doesn't answer all your questions, use support.apple.com for "iDVD menus" or whatever your question is about.
-- If your 2011 or later computer came with no iDVD, use DVDStyler. It is a free (not a demo / trial) open-source alternative to iDVD for Intel Macs. It has most of the same options as iDVD, but not as many cool themes.

I have downloaded a movie in avi format and I want to make it work in my dvd player. I copied the movie on to an empty dvd and when I try to play it in my dvd player it doesn't play it simple says 'loading' !!! What do I do?!
Answer
Your DVD player does not have the codec [Its a video language - just like people have various languages codecs are languages for video players. An each type of video in encoded in various codecs. Since AVI is a container (equivelent to a person) it can be coded with those various codecs. But DVDs have a strict restrictions on which codec can be read. Its better you convert the AVI to a DVD specific.
There are alot of free DVD convertors available.
