Hi, thanks for dmg2iso. Actually it seems that everything works when starting dmg2iso, but i cant find the .iso file after.

Any suggestions regarding that?

Thanks

How do you work with a split dmg? Like disk.001.dmg, disk.002.dmg

McAfee reports the dmg2img Win32 download is unsafe:

Woah, that download is dangerous!

We found that there might be viruses, spyware or potentially unwanted programs in the file you are trying to download.

Nope, not doing it…

It’s not unsafe (it’s a false positive)
