Convert .nrg to .iso in Ubuntu / Debian

Friday, November 8, 2013

How to convert file .nrg to .iso? In linux family, to convert file .nrg to .iso is not big problem. And does not require special tools to do it. Just use command line via terminal, we can do it.

This is command to convert file .nrg to .iso:
dd bs=1k if=fileimage.nrg of=fileimage.iso skip=300

The meaning of command above is:

  • dd is command to convert and copy a file
  • bs=1k is read and write 1 kilobytes at a time
  • if is read from file (this case is .nrg file)
  • of is write to file (this case is .iso file)
  • skip=300 is skip 300 kilobytes size blocks at start of input. To get .ISO we must reduce 300kb. So we skip 300.
