I have a dmg image to burn on my PC and cannot find any info on software
that will easily convert to iso.
I use Nero 6 Ultra Edition v 6.3.1.15. It will not convert or burn the image
for use on my PC.
I use Windows XP Pro SP2.
any ideas

Try using Alcohol 120%, found at http://www.alcohol-soft.com/
 
Doesn't work as easy as that. Nero still detects it as a foreign image file.

Since I was curious because I'd not heard of a dmg image, I did a
quick Google search to find out what it was. As a result, I found
contradictory answers to your question:

This one claims you _can_ convert the image to a Nero readable format:

This one claims you probably _can't_ (see item 3):

Frustrating ain't it...

Download IsoBuster which can extract to another image file format. Right
click the image icon in the left hand pane and 'Extract to file'.

Don't understand. What image icon.
The left pane shows a CD folder. When I open the dmg file I get a Track 1
after a few questions from the software.
When I can use your suggestion (extract to file) I don't get a choice to
create an iso file but I end up with a .bin file ????

What's wrong with .bin? there should be a related .cue file too.

Try right clicking the top most CD icon in the left pane, Extract CD Image
RAW. Well, in any case, something in those context menus will work for you.
I'm sure you can work it out.

Just in case you didn't know, you can burn the .cue/.bin image in Nero.

DMG is a mac file/image. I think the most you can hope for is extracting the
files/folders from the image. You can then burn them to cd if thats what you
want. What are you trying to acomplish that extracting the files wont do.

There is a thread here, assuming this is an Apple .dmg .

You could search on developer.apple.com for more info on dmg.

http://developer.apple.com/document...wareDistribution/Concepts/sd_disk_images.html

Here, for example, it mentions some of the internal format
options for a .dmg:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/hdiutil.1.html

"UDRW - UDIF read/write image
UDRO - UDIF read-only image
UDCO - UDIF ADC-compressed image
UDZO - UDIF zlib-compressed image
UDBZ - UDIF bzip2-compressed image (OS X 10.4+ only)
UFBI - UDIF entire image with MD5 checksum
UDRo - UDIF read-only (obsolete format)
UDCo - UDIF compressed (obsolete format)
UDTO - DVD/CD-R master for export
UDxx - UDIF stub image
UDSP - SPARSE (grows with content)
RdWr - NDIF read/write image (deprecated)
Rdxx - NDIF read-only image (Disk Copy 6.3.3 format)
ROCo - NDIF compressed image (deprecated)
Rken - NDIF compressed (obsolete format)
DC42 - Disk Copy 4.2 image"

which presumably means, there are plenty of ways it can screw up.

The "first" link refers to some type of "MacOX" image conversion tool.
