I did a save as disc image to my desktop. Can I burn a dvd from a disc image and still get the same quality, as if I was to just burn without a disc image. I burn best quality. If I could burn from disc image how do i do.

The answer is Yes, the disc image will be the exact same quality that you would get if you had just burned it directly from iDVD without a disc image.

You would burn this disc image from Disk Utility. This is inside the /Applications/Utilities directory.

First, you'd drag the disc image from Finder into the side window of Disk Utility, and then select it, and hit the "Burn" button on top of the window.

I'm coming in a bit late on this question I guess, but what if I want to store the disc image? I don't have a DVD burner... yet.... and would like to begin using iDVD. So if I create a disc image can I just copy that disc image to a cd or external drive for burning at a later stage?

Hi iLuvMyMacToo,

Yes, you can copy the disc image to external drive and use it to burn DVD at future. Just follow this instruction: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X.
