The error code doesn't give you an explanation at all. In certain cases when using large image files (I tested with images that have over 2.5GB), the application can't split the image, and it throws an error code. This function was the only one that didn't work flawlessly. It can split the image either by using a segment size, or it can split the image by using a defined number of pieces. The 'Segment' functionality provides the possibility to split an existing image. Basically, the conversion is not recommended as long as it is not required by the circumstances, due to fewer support for the supported options. This function lacks the support for the ISO types, and it also lacks the support for converting the file system. The 'Convert' functionality allows you to convert an existing image to a DMG, sparse, CDR, or OLD image. Besides the common Mac OS X file systems, you can also use the UNIX file system, or something with Microsoft flavor: FAT16 and FAT32, which by the way are not recommended by the producer. The supported list of file systems is decent. Besides DMG, it also includes support for sparse disk images, CD/DVD master disk image (CDR), OLD images, and various types of ISO images. All you need to do is to select the file format for the disk image, a compression level if you create a compressed image, and a volume format (file system) for the disk image.

'New image from folder' is pretty easy to use. I believe their naming is intuitive enough, so I am going to talk about the support that's implemented into DMGConverter. These tabs define the main features of the program. The interface is split between 'New Image from folder', 'Convert', and 'Segment'.

DMGConverter is a free application that can do some disk image manipulation.ĭespite the fact that the name of this application makes it to be seen as a simple converter, the program is pretty complex and it has a great support for all kind of disk image related activities.
