Nero disc images on Mac OS X
Today I needed to proof a disc image and it was created by Nero, the Windows-only disc burning software. Fortunately it turn out that the easiest possible solution was available to me:
Nero images; how to burn or convert on X
“NGR images are essentially ISO images. You should be able to rename them and use them as ISO. […] You can most certainly rename the files. If they are indeed ISOs, then Disk Utility should have no problem with them.”
Basically, once I renamed the “promo-disc.ngr” to “promo-disc.iso” I had a standard disc image that I could double click. That launched it and mounted it as a new ‘volume’ or virtual disc on my Desktop.
Thanks to the Nero people and the Apple people for making that possible.
