markryde Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hello, I have a .dmg file of MacOS Leoprad Snow which I want to burn. I had created an MacOS.iso from it by dmgextractor. I did it in Linux as I have no access to a Mac machine. I am able to mount this file in Linux by: mount -t hfsplus -o loop MacOS.iso /mnt/mac/ running "file MacOS.iso" gives: MacOS.iso: Macintosh HFS Extended version 4 data (mounted) .... Running: "isoinfo -i MacOS.iso" gives: CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format I tried to burn twice with k3b in Linux with a 8.5 GB DL +R media and it failed. My dvd writer **does** support DL +R It is Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170A; the k3b log says: Profiles: DVD-ROM, ......, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R Dual Layer,... Both times it said that this iso is not recognized as an iso file (which is indeed the case) and gave an I/O error immediately when starting to burn. The log says this exactly thus: ... ... growisofs command: ----------------------- k3b error when burning: /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0 -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:3289486 -dvd-compat -speed=2.4 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:4m Fatal Error at startup: input/output error. ... ... I am using k3b-1.0.5-9.fc11.x86_64 My questions are: 1) Is it right to use the dmgextractor in this way to create an iso ? 2) Should I try some other burning application in Linunx ? Any ideas from those who tried it successfully will be appreciated Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs5694 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Try burning with growisofs directly, without all the cruft that k3b is adding: growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=MacOS.iso It's conceivable that some additional options will be required, but the above will probably work as-is, or with very minor changes (to the exact device filename if /dev/sr0 is wrong or to the filename if you need to specify a full path or if you've renamed the file). If this doesn't work, try examining the errors and reading the growisofs man page; with luck something will jump out at you as a possible solution.

leafhound Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I know Nero burns dmg files, Have you got a DVD drive that can burn dual layer 8+Gb disks? When you have the dmg file unpacked what files are in the folder (on the first click)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outragedtony Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 try dmg2img to uncompresses the dmg image. k3b should accept the resulting img file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
