In some cases, you may need to use

hdiutil makehybrid -iso -o yourdmg.dmg output.iso

This gives pretty good compatibility. It was necessary to create an ISO usable by Sun’s VirtualBox.

Thanks alot, a great time saver as VMWARE needs .iso images to install.

Worked great for me, to be a little more specific…

- put the CD or DVD into the drive – open Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) – select the the disk (NOT the media) (the smaller, subordinate item) on the left side of the Disk Utility interface – select File -> New -> Disk Image From… (it should show you the name of the disk you have selected) – choose a filename – choose “CD/DVD master” from the “image format” drop down – click save – after the .cdr file is created, change the .cdr extension to .iso – crack a beer, you’re done
