Lion DMG but I've tried numerous methods to open it such as using PowerISO but I get the message 'The file format is invalid or unsupported'. Now I just downloaded the DMG2IMG software and looking online it suggests that I can convert the DMG to ISO, but how will.

- Oct 15, 2015 Hi, Long-time user, first time poster 😃 I have a Live Hub and have been using it with a mix of iso and mkv files for quite a while without any problems. Then out of the blue last week, I try to play one of the ISO files and I get the ‘Unsupported Format’ message that tells me to refer to the user manual. Now I know that ISO files are supported and the file wasn’t new and has worked.
Before we start, let’s download a dmg file from the public domain. I found one on Apple’s article about The XMLHttpRequest Object website while I was learning Ajax and that can be downloaded from this link. This is just a 150KB dmg file and will be handy if you want to have something to test with while you’re following this tutorial.
How To Convert DMG Files To ISO Files On Mac
Method 1: Using the Mac terminal
1. Open a terminal window from Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
2. Assuming that you have a disk image called apple.dmg in the current directory, type
hdiutil convert apple.dmg -format UDTO -o apple.iso
3. This will actually create a file called image.iso.cdr in the current directory (even though we asked for the output to be image.iso). This file can be safely renamed to image.iso, copied to a Windows server or machine, and burned with your CD/DVD burner of choice.
Generally, the command hdiutil can be used this way:
Power Iso Dmg File Format Is Invalid Or Unsupported
hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso
Method 2: Using DMGConverter (freeware)
1. DMGConverter is a disk image (.dmg, .cdr, .iso) creation and conversion tool which is simple and easy to use. It is a very useful tool for the collective processing of more than one file and every folder, and it can deal with all the fundamental processing with the drag & drop of the file/folder. For Mac Only.
How To Convert DMG Files To ISO Files On Windows
Power Iso Dmg Invalid Or Unsupported Mac
This is for Windows users who might have downloaded a dmg file and wondering how to extract the content, or not even knowing how and what to do with the dmg file. I’ve been there at a certain stage. the sharewares mentioned are fully functional and allows you to use the “convert dmg to iso” function even when it’s not registered yet.
Method 1: Using MagicISO (shareware)
1. Download MagicISO, install and run program.
2. Click to open dmg file.
3. Click to open “Properties” dialogs.
4. Uncheck Apple HFS and Apple HFS+
5. Check “ISO 9660” “Joliet” “UDF”
6. Click OK

7. Click to save as to iso image, or click to burn to CD/DVD without saving.
Method 2: Using UltraISO (shareware)
UltraISO basically does the same thing, but it can save you time from doing step 3 to 6 compared to method 1.
Alternative Solutions: dmg2iso (freeware) and isobuster (shareware)
I’ve heard and read that some people had been able to convert dmg files into iso files using dmg2iso (freeware). I’ve tried dmg2iso, converted my dmg file to iso without problem, but the converted iso file is corrupted and can’t be open by any tools (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, MagicISO, UltraISO and ISOBuster) that I’ve tested. It might work for you, but no guarantees.
ISOBuster is pretty similar to MagicISO and UltraISO. But too bad that the function to “convert dmg to iso” is restricted and won’t be functional until you buy the software.
