Part 1: Burn DMG to CD/DVD on Mac via Command Line (Terminal) The first method involves using command line executions to burn a DMG file to disk. In a Mac, this would be done in Terminal, which you can access in Applications Utilities Terminal. In Windows, it's the Command Prompt, which you can access by entering ‘cmd' in the run window. May 10, 2005  I am a Linux user and can burn bootable CD's from image files all day long, but this is just killing me and getting rather expensive. I have made sure to mount the dmg file for each of the 4 disks, tried just burning a data cd, then burned to an image and burned the image to cd, tried a mac volume, nothing seems to work. From the Mac Finder, select a disk image file Pull down the “File” menu and choose “Burn Disk Image (Name) to Disc” Insert a blank DVD, CD, or CDRW disc into the drive, then click on the “Burn” button You can also access the “Burn Disk Image to Disc” option by right-clicking on an image file. To burn a DMG or ISO File to disk: Start Applications Utilities Disk Utility. The Disk Utility window will open. Insert a blank CD or DVD disc into the Mac CD/DVD drive. Drag the.dmg or.iso file from a Finder window or the desktop to the Disk Utility window. Select the.dmg or.iso.

   • dmg stands for Apple Disk Images. If you have a dmg image is like having an ISO file in Windows, difference is that dmg images are meant to be mounted. They can be put on dvd, cd, flashdrive, for the purpose of moving them to another computer. To have a better understanding about .dmg images, read the following:

     What kind of installation disk do you want to make? If the .dmg file you have is already bootable, you just have to burn it to dvd/cd and it will boot. If you have the .dmg image and a mac, you can use the disk utility. Open disk utility, drag your .dmg into the list of volumes, highlight it, and then select the Burn icon in the toolbar.

9. Select the dmg file, and the disc you want to write on.

   use this guide for the steps:

   to burn dmg files.

10. Hello, the only thing you need to do is get a burning software that is capable of burning .dmg images. You can use software like the following:

    [BROKEN LINKS REMOVED]
    You could also try burning the DVD as Data disk. Open a burning software like Nero, ImgBurn, etc, select the .dmg image you have and then burn the disk. Once disk is burned you can view it in Mac. Now, if it is an installation disk, that would not work.

Nov 07, 2011  If the.dmg file you have is already bootable, you just have to burn it to dvd/cd and it will boot. If you have the.dmg image and a mac, you can use the disk utility. Open disk utility, drag your.dmg into the list of volumes, highlight it, and then select the Burn icon in the toolbar.

An ISO file contains optical disc file system and contains elements that would be written in optical disc. It comes with .iso extension but sometime .img extension is also used in some cases like Microsoft Dreamspark. The file which doesn’t contain ISO 9660 but have UDF which comes with .udf extension. It is sector by sector copy of data.

What is ISO FILE

The full form of ISO is International Organisation for Standardization. The ISO name is taken from ISO 9660, used with CD ROM media but it contain a UDF(ISO/IEC 13346) file system ( used for DVDs and Blu-ray Discs). Most of the operating systems like Unix, Linux and Mac OS have built in capability to mount an ISO. Most of the emulator uses .ISO file to create image of CD. Emulator like PCSX2, Dolphin use .iso to emulate Wii and GameCube games and Playstation 2 games respectively.

Benefits of ISO file

• It is the program file which is neatly copied in a single file and it is used to distribute large program over the internet.
• It is used to create backup of CD or DVD because it creates the exact copy carry, and converts all the data with bits from the disc. Whenever the file is copied, it lacks the header file but when iso file is created it covers all the things including the header file.

We have so much in Mac that would make it easy for us to convert an ISO file to DMG and DMG file to ISO and also no additional software is required. Although there are some processes that would be used to convert the DMG file into ISO file in Mac OS X.

The first process is by using opening disc utility , the second process comes with the command line and the third via different software.

Opening Disc Utility

This is a powerful technique. We should be careful while doing this because by our single mistake it would easily wipe out data from some of our discs. So be cautious.

Click on the sidebar and navigate towards the bottom. Click on Hightail Express and you will be able to download the installation package for the program. Once the installation package is downloaded, go to your downloads folder and run the install package. For Mac: You may come across this message:'Hightail Mac Express.pkg can't be opened. Hightail express download mac.

Explanation of process:

• First of all we have to insert the CD/ DVD which contains the file that we want to convert into a CD burning capable mac.
• After that, go to the Finder file and open it. After opening click on the application and then double click on the Utilities folder.
• After that, to open the Disc Utility, double click on the application.

Creating DMG file

• After opening the Disc Utility window, go to left and check name of the disc that we want to insert in the highlighted region.
• Then click on the file menu which is at the top and go to downward menu option, click New, then click on Disc Image (name of our disc).
• Give a name to new file and navigate on the desktop to save the file there.
• Choose the compressed image format
• Click on save menu and now we have .dmg file save in the desktop. Now our next task is to burn the file onto a blank CD/DVD.

Burning the DMG file

• Take out the original CD/DVD from the computer and put a blank CD/DVD on it. If you promoted with a pop-up window, click ignore.
• Then after return to Disc Utility and go to top of the window and click the Burn button.
• Then after, go and check out on the desktop and highlight the .dmg file and save. Then click on Burn button.
• Click Burn again in the new window to set the new default setting.
• CD/DVD is automatically ejected, once the program is finished. Now we have a burned CD or DVD with a copy of original file saved in .dmg format.
