Bottom line is, my mac doesnt have a DVD burner, simply a DVD drive, and I need to burn a DMG image to use on my mac from my PC [where I downloaded it] Any way for me to burn this and maintain file stability etc? -------------------- A British company is developing small computer chips that can store music in women's breasts. This is considered a major breakthrough since women complain about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

I found this out a while ago when looking for info on reading .DMG files on Windows or Linux boxes. I found out it was not possible, and I wasn't too happy. You see, my iMac has no CD-R drive, just a CD-ROM. This tip creates ISO images from DMG images, so they can be burned elsewhere. To convert the file to an ISO image, type the following command at your terminal window:

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

Replace /path/to/filename.dmg with the path and name of the existing .DMG file, and replace /path/to/savefile.iso with the desired path and name for the converted image.

This then creates an ISO image burnable in Nero on Windows, or pretty much anything on Windows that will burn ISOs and same with Linux. I just converted a DMG image as a test, and it took a while -- it only converted at about 1MByte per secoond, but I only have a 333Mhz imac G3, so speed wise, it may be good.
