Jed’s fridge door notes (a.k.a. “so i won’t forget”)

There’s a tool called nrg2iso to convert .nrg files to .iso files. You can use that. Just emerge/apt-get/make the tool and you’re done.

nrg2iso cd-image.nrg cd-image.iso

OR

You can use the `dd` command. The difference between an NRG and ISO file is basically a 300kb header that Nero adds to a simple ISO file. So we can just trim this header off and you’ll have your ISO file.

dd bs=1k if=cd-image.nrg of=cd-image.iso skip=300

That’s it.
