In 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,
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.

this is a nice programm .. thank you
Crap…it says that the file is not a valid ISO9660-File. DAMN!
Very useful! thanks
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.
Thanks! worked like a charm… 😀
i test version 0.4 and is working fine
8 nrg img converted in iso and all burned on cd working great
Thanks for the info i really needed it =D it worked great 😉
funny when i try
'nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso' (without sudo) is says: 'Segmentation fault'
anyway, works great whit sudo 😀
>> Crap…it says that the file is not a valid ISO9660-File. DAMN!
Exactly. I have had the same experience. Crap.

>> 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.
Wow. That was fast. Ubuntu 9.10
i installed using apt-get
i typed in convert command the simple way ex: [nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso] and the detailed way ex: [nrg2iso home/compname/desktop/image.nrg image.iso]
both ways the terminal always says “image.nrg no such file” or ” home/compname/desktop/image.nrg no such file”
is there something i’m missing?? the .nrg file is a valid i checked it and i can mount it but i need to install this program via virtual machine so i need .iso file.
>sangas _Brilliant mount -o loop,offset=307200 image.nrg /placetomount
worked like a charm on 3.0ghz hp 512 ram 🙁 puppy linux 4.31 🙂
Doesn’t work for me. First I get this error message:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Then I add “-t iso9660” which gives other messages:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
dmesg | tail or so
Any idea of what to do?
Hello everyone,
The problem with the NRG file it seems is that it is more than merely an ISO file plus header.
However, you can treat them that way if they are Disc At Once (DAO) written (i.e. the mount command, the nrg2iso (or the dd command) will all work just fine. However, when it is Track At Once written, NONE of the linux based tools will be able to convert the file to a usable ISO.
It may be possible to use some of the windows options through wine or a vm to do the conversion however.
Cheers
