How to convert DMG disc images to ISO

dmg to iso converterThe coder name is quite frightening (‘Murder Thoughts’), but this tiny utility comes in really handy.

I’ve been using it recently as follows.
I had to convert a .DMG (proprietary Apple disc image format) to a .ISO standard format, ready to be burned to CDs/DVDs from any Windows CD burning software (or Apple-based as well).
Damage Isolation (get the name?) does just this.

Using Damage Isolation is easy. Just open the application, and drop a file onto it’s icon in the dock. It doesn’t require any configuration, but you can alter any of the settings you wish by clicking the Preferences button in the main window.

It’s really tiny (just 144 KB), OS X compatible – from 10.2.x up.

Ok, it’s switching back and forth from the Mac, but it adds a great deal of integration with all other platforms.

The coder’s real name is Phil Nelson.

Thanks Phil, great (little) tool.
