How To Convert DMG To ISO On A Mac

[burnstagger]

You can just drop the .dmg into the terminal window to insert its full path and terminal will do the right thing. No need to much around with all the quotes and whatnot.

You cna just drag the .dmg into the terminal window to get the full path to it and terinal will do the right thing - no need to muck around with all that path stuff. BTW, how do you get the spaces in the Dock?

Hi mate thanks for the tutorial, clever stuff. I was wondering if I had a game, for example age of empires for mac, and its a disk image (.dmg), when i try to open it, it says insert Age of empires dvd. Can I burn the .dmg to a dvd or would I have to convert to .iso? Also how would I burn this so its bootable off the dvd? Rather than just burning it and it opening up with a .dmg file in it, repeating the loop of enter dvd!!

thanks

Does this work going from an external hard drive to another external hard drive?

[briannarj]

how do you actually watch/use what your mounted

[AlexBrasil123123]

and, ladies and gentleman, this is why linux and unix OSes suck huge dinosaur balls and are a joke. what hell happened to: choose source file, choose file destination, save as, click convert, DONE!!

nooooo, that would be wayy to convenient, so let's make it as complicated and retarded as possible on purpose so that we can look smart when we type in these commands and make others feel stupid.

[scbonduk]

@AlexBrasil123123 I usually use terminal less on Macs than I use Command Prompt on Windows...and I have two Macs and one PC.

[AlexBrasil123123]

@scbonduk

that's a lie and you know it. when does anyone ever have to use the windows command prompt except for a few particular rare tasks. I never had to type highly cryptic commands to do basic tasks such as convert a file from one format to another in Windows.

[scbonduk]

@scbonduk Why would I lie to a complete stranger I don't care about?! The commands in Terminal make much more sense and are fairly simple the occasional time you need to use them. As for Windows, especially on XP and all those before that, they're more complex and used heavily. Maybe you're just a light user that sticks to using a web browser?! Maybe you're just bitter because, being Brazilian, you cannot afford a Mac so you go on Mac specific YouTube videos to slate them and their users?!

[HeffernanProductions]

in future videos involving terminal, i suggest you change your terminal background to white and the text to black, making it MUCH easier to read for your viewers. cheers.

How can I convert a dmg and make it work on a classic mac os 8.6?

[david1991rules4life]

can't u just edit the name and do .iso and it asks to change the extension? :/...

[iAppleGeek1]

@david1991rules4life Thanks for the previous comment! Appreciated. To answer your question, for some reason the iso doesn't work properly on other platforms when you just change the extension.

[david1991rules4life]

@iAppleGeek1 ohk

[david1991rules4life]

4 people are noobs... this guy has the easiest and best tutorials on the planet!

[kv92789]

He says it right in the vid but the code in description is a lil wrong.

There needs to be a space after 'filename.dmg'

Corrected Code:

hdiutil convert ~/Desktop/'filename.dmg' -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/'filename.iso'

(Where filename is replace with the actual name)

Thumbs up so ppl can see.

[umarhyatt]

thanks man you saved my day i spent almost a full day on this with no luck. i was fortunate enough to have both windows and mac os so this finally worked. for those who have this ............................ be patient and let it finish because same happened with me it took some time but went well in the end. thanks buddy. well done.

[Silentbobsbud150]

convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable

[isaiahdawg101]

my dot dot are still going and i am unable to open the file

[torbotax]

or you could just enter this hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o name.iso name.dmg

[Vincee095]

Where did you take your wallpaper ?

[ScapeTheShow]

is there anyway to convert more than one file? like 6 dmg. files into one?

[whencouragefails]

this changed it to a cdr not an iso.

[JohnnyWishbone888]

Thanks for this video, you be a star :)

[Shadow5491]

hi, ive tried to do what you did but i still need the password to be there too, not just enter it and make a iso without the password, please reply as soon as you can if you know

[lachlan9455]

thank you! very helpful video this is exactly what i was looking for after i burnt a copy if windows 7 on my mac and it ended up as a dmg, stupid me! anyway this trick worked nicely to get it back to an iso :)

[ElijahLynn]

This made a .iso.cdr for me. IN fairness, I was using .DMG to archive my FAT32 images from my HF10 camcorder.

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

Actually another simpler way is to simply locate the .dmg file and change the extension from .dmg to .iso and a prompt box will apear giving you an option between both and select .iso that's what I did cos I couldn't get the command line to work and it's fully recognised as a .iso ;)

[QuantumAnomaly]

Thanks for including the code in the video description. For me that made the difference between confusion and understanding.

[volesky88]

@QuantumAnomaly Agreed. I tried to follow what you said but reading the actual code made it much clearer. Also, does anyone know the different between (option n) ˜ and the (tilda I think it's called) ~

[jerometegreat555]

its asking for .004

[mishokorlov]

Brilliant i like it a lot man 5 star for that!

[manpreetsingh9243]

this one is good but complex also

see mine in my profile , that very easy believe me

it contain but dmg to iso and iso to dmg

thnks

[krazeakake]

I'm using Windows XP via Boot Camp on my iMac which is running Snow Leopard 10.6. The .DMG files I'm trying to install are AU sound plug-ins for music work. I need to use these plug-ins in the Windows Boot Camp system, not Snow Leopard but I can't find a way to install .DMG files while in Windows. Do you know if I was to install them while in the Snow Leopard operating system, would I still be able to locate them and load the final installed program in Windows?

[krazeakake]

(the final installed program being a AU plug-in)

[Fgper]

thanks. you are the best

[petekrz]

I've used this command to convert .dmg to .iso. What is the difference?

hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o outfile.iso infile.dmg

[shollinganalur]

One question dude if i have a mixed bootable leopard dmg file and i convert it to .iso with your trick do you think i can burn a dvd and it will still be bootable in macs.problem is my bro just gifted me a 2007 mid macbook and I want to install leopard on it. and I got the .dmg file from demanoid. and the laptop does not have a superdrive so I have to burn it in my PC. Will it work. :)

[ez4u2sa67]

I just change the extention from .dmg to .iso and it seems to work. I check the info on the file and it says that it is a .iso.

[abadamu05]

got a question.

under what circumstance would a '.dmg' or a '.iso' be used?

i'm quite familiar with the formats_ .jpg png tiff targa pdf etc etc

i've googled/ wikipedia only to view martian (not good at deciphering martian :-(

cheers!

[iAppleGeek1]

With .iso you can still use it on windows but .dmg's dont work on windows

[McWolfable]

You may use magic iso (a windows prog) to burn a dmg into and .iso

[Bevann25]

@abadamu05 a .dmg file is a cd image compatible with mac's . a .iso is a file compatible with windows. Hence , wanting to convert .dmg to .iso.

[asl33pr0]

@abadamu05 seriously?
