Convert Raw Disk Image To Dmg

Convert DMG to ISO File

A .DMG file is the disc image file used by MAC OSX. It is an exact copy of a hard disk or compact disk. The DMG file can be burned to a CD or mount as a normal volume on Macintosh computers. Usually, the data in DMG file is stored in compressed format. On a Windows PC, AnyBurn can convert DMG file to ISO format, or burn it to a blank CD / DVD disc. To convert DMG file to ISO format, please follow the steps,

1. Run AnyBurn, and click 'Convert image files'.

Ability to directly add/delete/rename/extract file(s) within image files. Convert image files to the standard ISO format. Supports ISO 9660 Level1/2/3 and Joliet extension and UDF. Duplicate disc to ISO file from CD/DVD-ROM. MagicISO embed with Windows Explorer. A word of caution when using qemu-img to convert images for use with VMWare Fusion - Fusion doesn't like disks that aren't sized exactly to the megabyte. If you have such a image make sure you resize to the nearest megabyte first then convert it to vmdk format.

2. Select the source DMG file, and select the destination image file type to ISO format. Anyburn will create the default destination image file name based on the destination image type. The destination ISO file will be in the same folder of the source DMG file, you can change it if necessary. After you have made the selection, click 'Convert Now' to start conversion.

3. AnyBurn will start converting the DMG file to ISO format, and showing the conversion progress.

4. You should see the message 'Converting image file finished successfully.' when the conversion complete.

Restore a full-disk .dmg file to a raw block device

Wow, great hint. This is going to go to good use. Thanks!

Restore a full-disk .dmg file to a raw block device

Somehow I thought that was what the menu item Images -> Scan Image for Restore always did.. but I suppose there has been at least one occasion where this may have actually been what I needed.

Regarding weapon damage: What's the difference between Dmg (S) & Dmg (M)? Standard and Masterwork? Edit: Also, when a weapon is described as, for example, +1 longsword +9, what's the difference between the first and second modifiers? Dnd 5e dmg s dmg m.

Happily, I've never found myself in a position where I needed to restore my backup image files, (made with Carbon Copy Cloner.) But I'd like to know the routine if I ever need to use it.
My question: since I back up separate partitions into separate disk image files, is this hint inapplicable to me? Does this hint only apply to backing up multiple partitions into a single disk image?
(I had no idea it was even possible to backup multiple partitions to a single disk image..)

This is great. I was getting real frustrated with Disk Utility's non-specific error messages. This worked just like you said it would.

Restore a full-disk .dmg file to a raw block device

Great post. However, when I tried this I got a 'Resource busy' error.
In order to avoid this problem, you have to make sure the mac OS isn't 'using' the device first. To do this just open the DiskUtility.app, and on the target USB hard drive, unmount any of it's partitions. Make sure to not eject the USB hard drive so that the device is still available in DiskUtility and shows up in the result from 'diskutil list'.

Convert Dmg To Iso Online

Many thanks to you and daveosborne for your hints !
1) I'm currently dumping the content of a .dmg file to an external disk.
2) 'with an appropriate buffer size to copy over the whole block image, including partition table and boot sector'
-> what do you mean by that and how can I determine which buffer size is appropriate ?
-> how did you determine the 131072 size ?
For my use I trusted blindly the example and used the bs=131072 option. Untill now it seems to be working.. (it's still copying).
I'm currenlty getting tons of lines on my terminal screen that look like :
..
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E4AA97 srcLen 116073
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E61F0D srcLen 20723
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
..
with sometimes long series of
..
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E66B71 srcLen 1167
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E66B71 srcLen 1167
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
..
I notice the destLen (I suppose it means block destination length) 262144 is exactly the double of the bs=131072 that was used before. I'm curious if anyone can help me understand this. Does this mean the source data is sparsed over the destination disk by blocks of 131072 or 262144 bytes, thereby fragmenting the disk ?
In your replies, please kindly take into account that I'm a French newbie with a fair level of ignorance of OSX command line technical slang, however not completely ignorant with computers either (one piece of paper even says I'm an engineer :), it's just that I don't understand what the buffer size technically means here.
Many thanks in advance for your insights !
