Hi,

Is there any way I can convert a DMG disk image to an ISO disk image?

Thanks.

Thanks to a quick Google search, I came up with this command from MacOSX Hints:


hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso


EDIT: Sorry if I wasn't more specific. I meant that you should type that into a terminal (while changing the /path/to/ stuff)

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried that? Does it take a long time? Not that I expect them to be any faster, but there appear to be a couple of freeware graphical utilities also on Versiontracker:

Hi,

I have tried this but I now have a .iso.cdr file. Should I just remove .cdr?

Thanks.

Yes, you can just remove the "cdr" suffix.
