Mac OS X Mountain Lion: Product Review:

Apple’s 9th edition of OS X series is here with some exciting new features that are ever needed to be existent. iOS users got a definite recognition of the operating system, back in 2012 when the product was made available to general public on 25th day of July 2012. OS came with plenty of new features and improvements in the series to bring some imminent changes and is still there in Apple App Store for purchase. The big cat version is actually intended to bring some new capabilities and refinement in the way tabs are appearing, the media is managed and things are browsed. The enhanced security features are of big discussion here, because many significant changes were being made under the table to make system a very stable one to improve the kernel’s performance and apps security seems to be a concerned while installation and to set forth for functions.See Also: Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

With Mac OS X Mountain the newly experienced features are solely there to boost your Mac’s overall performance in terms of variant functionalities, your mac is undergoing with. Some major ideas are definitely borrowed form iOS like the sharing options, that are being made available for many Apps, which is quite an easier task to get your desired content shared in a single click. While in previous releases the lacuna was there, which needed a copy and pasting the link to your social media client and all is required to be done manually.

Similarly the one amongst the most widely appreciated features held as the, voice transcription the “Dictation” feature that let you speak and get your desired text written in the field provided and then get translated by the server’s in to various languages (provided one’s only). What was new with Mountain Lion is a topic to be written about hundred’s of features, while we are desiring to point out some striking one’s and next is, the improved security and privacy promise, which realises the need to “disable automatic login”, and to allow applications to be downloaded from Apple’s official store or the “identified developer’s” only. The security settings can be double checked if Gatekeeper which is basically serving as a malware blocking mechanism, is accessed in preferences or system settings. The first time Game Center experience was brought from iOS to Mac OS, which grabbed many gaming geeks and kids to get their copy of OS straightaway. The Gaming Center is quite easier to manage, play and respond requests by friends or enthusiasts. You may be interested inMac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

Hint author here. I'll agree that in most cases you would be better off using a USB flash drive (8 gig drives cost practically nothing these days.) In my case, my employer asked that I create some bootable DVDs, and I didn't want to have to order a bunch of dual-layers. I'm sure there are others in similar circumstances.

I haven't tried the script, but it probably won't work in bash without properly escaping and/or quoting the paths with spaces on them.

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD

You're absolutely right - good catch. The paths were fully escaped when I submitted the hint, but it looks like the backslashes got stripped out after submission.
I'll see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, you can download the escaped version here:

Were they back slashes, or forward slashes?

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer -revised script
The shell script does require some modification. I have copied my version of the script below.

I had the install app in a Downloads folder. You will need to change that reference to where your copy of the app is located. This ran in Terminal, after I saved the text as 'MLresize.sh', using nano, and ran on the file.

(I've got a lot of blank DVDs. And they won't get zapped by lightning like my Base Station did.)

The script ran in a few minutes, much less time than actually burning the DVD.
I just dropped the created .dmg file into Disk Utility, selected it, and clicked on burn.
After burning, the disc shows in System Preferences->Startup Disk as bootable.
Although I haven't tried it out yet.

The image itself has a fixed size of 4.75 GB, but contains only 4.35 GB of data. All we're doing is trimming the free space.

So you can't just use Image/Resize in Disk Utility? (I'd try it, but I don't have Mountain Lion.)

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD

Resize only works for read/write disk images, so, no.

I just copy/pasted the stuff for terminal, not bothering with the bash and everything worked as advertised. Verifying burnt disc now. Thanks!!

@kirkmc Why do you need Lion DiskMaker? Can't you just restore the InstallESD image in Install X Mountain Lion/Contents/SharedSupport using Disk Utility?
I have an installer on a USB and an SDHC Card using the restore method.

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD

@derekJAB,
you can in fact restore InstallESD.dmg. Just remember to mount the dmg for Mountain Lion.
If you don't, disk utility will throw you an error.

So I already deleted the Install thing in applications. I copied the InstallESD.dmg image to my desktop (cause I like to keep things on my desktop) and changed the script accordingly. That should work for you too.

Burn Mac Dmg On Windows

The script as it stands right now (18oct2012) requires that the user has copied the InstallESD.dmg out of the contents of the installation app to the desktop. To get the script to work properly without copying over the dmg first, the hdutil attach -nobrowse /Applications/Install.. line should be uncommented, and the line following should be commented out: Otherwise the script issues some errors and burns a blank DVD.
Still a very nice hint.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD

If you do want to get the Mountain Lion installer InstallESD.dmg to fit on a single layer DVD, you can use the overburn feature of hdiutil in Mac OS X.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary.

You can infact burn the installer to a single layer DVD, using a feature called overburn. This is much simpler than it sounds.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary. It's not unusual to get errors after finishing the burn but as long as the Finishing Burn message is shown, the disc will function as expected.

I think using any of these methods will cause the image to have a different checksum than the original. If that's not important to you, don't fret.
$ man hdiutil
-[no]optimizeimage do [not] optimize filesystem for burning.
Optimization can reduce the size of an HFS or
HFS+ volume to the size of the data contained
on the volume. This option will change what
is burned such that the disc will have a dif-
ferent checksum than the image it came from.
The default is to burn all blocks of the disk
image (minus any trailing Apple_Free).
