You can use Disk Utility to create ISO images in Mac OS X:
- Click “New Image+” on the tool bar
- For “Image Format” select “CD/DVD Master”
- For “Encryption” leave it at “none”
- Rename the resulting
.cdrfile to.iso
I found this handy hint on the internets as well. To convert a .dmg file, you can use hdiutil to convert it!
hdiutil convert original.dmg -format UDTO -o newisoimage.cdr
Like above, it insists on naming it .cdr instead of .iso.
Ciao!
Thanks for the tip. Couldn’t remember how I did this to back up my files.
Thank you much
Ok.. and how to add files to the empty ISO just created?
You shouldn’t have an empty ISO image…when you click “New Image+” you are forced to select the folder that is the root of the ISO image. ISO images are normally only readonly.
