Creating ISO Image in OS X

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Without any third party software (like Toast) it is actually easy to create ISO images in OS X.

  1. If you have a CD/DVD and want to create the ISO image, just use the Disk Utility in OS X.
    • Open Disk Utility;
    • Select the CD/DVD;
    • Select New Image;
    • Make sure that the Image Format is DVD/CD Master;
    • This will create a .cdr file, just rename it to .iso (it is actually an ISO image)
  2. If you have an existing DMG file, you can use hdiutil to convert it: 
    • hdiutil convert source.dmg -format UDTO -o target.iso
