Macbook Convert Iso To Dmg

Aug 27, 2016 This video tutorial covers converting a ISO file to a DMG file on Mac OSX. For step by step instructions, follow the link below: http://clusterfrak.com/kb/ap.

Here are ways that you can convert dmg files to iso files on Mac OSX, Windows and Linux.

Before we start, let’s download a dmg file from the public domain. I found one on Apple’s article about The XMLHttpRequest Object website while I was learning Ajax and that can be downloaded from this link. This is just a 150KB dmg file and will be handy if you want to have something to test with while you’re following this tutorial.

How To Convert DMG Files To ISO Files On Mac

Method 1: Using the Mac terminal

1. Open a terminal window from Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

2. Assuming that you have a disk image called apple.dmg in the current directory, type

hdiutil convert apple.dmg -format UDTO -o apple.iso

3. This will actually create a file called image.iso.cdr in the current directory (even though we asked for the output to be image.iso). This file can be safely renamed to image.iso, copied to a Windows server or machine, and burned with your CD/DVD burner of choice.

Generally, the command hdiutil can be used this way:

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

Method 2: Using DMGConverter (freeware)

1. DMGConverter is a disk image (.dmg, .cdr, .iso) creation and conversion tool which is simple and easy to use. It is a very useful tool for the collective processing of more than one file and every folder, and it can deal with all the fundamental processing with the drag & drop of the file/folder. For Mac Only.

How To Convert DMG Files To ISO Files On Windows

This is for Windows users who might have downloaded a dmg file and wondering how to extract the content, or not even knowing how and what to do with the dmg file. I’ve been there at a certain stage. the sharewares mentioned are fully functional and allows you to use the “convert dmg to iso” function even when it’s not registered yet.

Method 1: Using MagicISO (shareware)

1. Download MagicISO, install and run program.

2. Click to open dmg file.

3. Click to open “Properties” dialogs.

4. Uncheck Apple HFS and Apple HFS+

5. Check “ISO 9660” “Joliet” “UDF”

6. Click OK

7. Click to save as to iso image, or click to burn to CD/DVD without saving.

Method 2: Using UltraISO (shareware)

UltraISO basically does the same thing, but it can save you time from doing step 3 to 6 compared to method 1.

Alternative Solutions: dmg2iso (freeware) and isobuster (shareware)

I’ve heard and read that some people had been able to convert dmg files into iso files using dmg2iso (freeware). I’ve tried dmg2iso, converted my dmg file to iso without problem, but the converted iso file is corrupted and can’t be open by any tools (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, MagicISO, UltraISO and ISOBuster) that I’ve tested. It might work for you, but no guarantees.

ISOBuster is pretty similar to MagicISO and UltraISO. But too bad that the function to “convert dmg to iso” is restricted and won’t be functional until you buy the software.

How To Convert DMG Files To ISO Files On Linux

Free open-source app AcetoneISO provides a great deal of disc image manipulation tools not found in the Gnome desktop. It can mount/unmount a variety of image formats (ISO, DMG, MDF, NRG, BIN, NRG), convert images, create, encrypt, and decrypt ISOs, play DVDs (with the required codecs installed), and much more. It is particularly useful for mounting proprietary formats found in Windows and Mac boot discs. AcetoneISO is a one-stop-shop for all of your CD/DVD image manipulation needs, and is a free download for Linux only. This works on all famous linux distro such as Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, Mandrake, and Redhat.

So there you have it, and this should get you covered no matter what operating system you’re using.

Conversion of iso file format to dmg file format beta

Search for iso to dmg converter or software able to handle these file types.

Bookmark & share this page with others:

Convert CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray disc ISO binary image to Apple Mac disk image.

We have found 7 software records in our database eligible for .iso to .dmg file format conversion.

Converting ISO disk images to DMG format should be easy enough nowadays and can be done in most, if not all modern disk image handling utilities, but it is unlikely you will find a dedicated iso to dmg converter only.

In most cases iso to dmg conversion is achieved because for Mac users .dmg files might be easier to handle compared to .iso files, but most recent disk management utilities for Mac have no trouble with either of these formats.

However, keep in mind that this won't work if you are trying to convert some Windows program installation disks to Mac one, that is simply not possible.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned iso to dmg. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
