Lots of people save full DVD images on their computers so they can watch movies without the disc. Maybe it's an iso, dmg, VIDEO_TS folder or .dvdmedia file - they're all basically the same thing. These files can max out at nearly 9GB, so even just a few will eat up an enormous amount of space. Thankfully you can use some DVD copier software to shrink down the file size.
One of the most frequent questions I get is how to convert a Mac disk image file (dmg) to a more Windows friendly iso file. Fortunatly it's not that hard, and there's two ways to do it. In this article I'm going to show you how to accomplish this using only Terminal. For an explanation on converting the file using a graphical interface, see my other eHow article "How to Convert a .DMG to a .ISO Using Disk Utility."
I recently wrote a requested article on converting a Mac disk image file (dmg) to a more Windows friendly iso file using Terminal. While there isn't anything necessarily difficult about that way, there's an even easier method for people who prefer a graphic interface.
