Convert Nero image (.nrg) to ISO9660 (.iso)

Welcome to Linux Screw! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe our RSS feed.

neroIn case you need to convert Nero image file .nrg into regular ISO9660 .iso utility nrg2iso might be helpful then. It’s included into apt repositories of Debian and Ubuntu, so to install it execute:

sudo aptitude install nrg2iso

When it’s done, convert file by command:

nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso

Rather trivial task, right? :)

    Except it often doesn’t seem to generate usable ISOs. Give it a try sometime.

    Hi Downer,

    Do you use nrg2iso 0.4 or earlier version? Download latest one here.

    its non-compiled source code.

    I don’t know how to compile it. gcc gave me some error.

    Hi,
    if it complains about unknown endianess and you’re using a x86 compatible machine, you can add
    -DBYTE_ORDER=”LITTLE_ENDIAN”
    to the CFLAGS in the Makefile.

    Regards,
    Patrick

    I found this handy command from somewhere (I can’t remember where) which will mount a Nero Image:

    mount -o loop,offset=307200 image.nrg /placetomount

    It turns out that a Nero image is just a ISO with an added header so we just skip the header to so can mount it.

    Exactly. I have had the same experience. Crap.

    @ Sangas
    >> mount -o loop,offset=307200 image.nrg /placetomount

    Sorry, this doesn’t work:

    # mount -o loop,offset=307200 myfile.nrg /media/disk
    mount: you must specify the filesystem type

    or you posted without checking if it worked? [I am using Sabayon 5.o, an excellent Gentoo based distro.]

    nrg2iso 1.0.1 just announces that my .nrg file is a Nero DAO with 1 session, generates a zero-byte .iso file and exits with no errors.
