Windows, it seems, is not very file system savvy. I wanted to back up my MacOS files to a DVD, but then I decided that I wanted a copy on my Windows machine. The thing that you must understand is that there is a great physical distance between the machines. It was easiest to just make blank DVD image in Mac OS by using Disk Utility, and then fill it. The CDR format that MacOS used did not work when I copied that file to Windows to burn because it was not an ISO. It seems that windows still does not use UDF on DVDs, so you need to put in the old ISO extensions.
sudo hdiutil makehybrid -joliet -iso dvdimage.cdr -o dvdimage.iso
The only issue is that the extensions require disk space, so 100MiB on the DVD was taken by the conversion, so leave a little bit of empty space on the disk.
