Converting MP4 File to ISO file

[Connor Stallions Laptop]

Can someone please post instructions on how to convert an mp4 file to an ISO file?  I would then like to burn the ISO file to a DVD-R.  Thanks.

An ISO is a box. Put an MP4 in a box and it's still an MP4 when you take it out again. Do you just want the MP4 on the disc or do you want something different?

Hello, thanks for responding to my post.  I was basically trying to put the mp4 file on a disc.

If you're just trying to put an MP4 on a disc and play it on a player that natively supports MP4 playback, just go into Build mode and drag and drop the MP4 file(s) into the job.  Then create the ISO in Build mode and use Write mode to write the ISO to a disc.

 

This might help you further:

 

However, if your player does not natively support playback of an MP4 from a disc, then copying it to a disc won't do much good since it won't play from it.  It would play on a PC with some kind of playback software, though.

My DVD player does not support mp4 discs.  Is there a way to transfer the mp4 to something that I can put on a disc and play in a normal DVD player?

Yes, convert the MP4 to DVD Video disc.  There are some freeware tools, but I've never used them, so I can't recommend any.  From what I've seen of them, they're not really very good.  I use ConvertXToDVD, but that's a paid license piece of software.
