====== Ubuntu - CD - Convert disk image formats to ISO9660 ======

The **Iat** tool can convert to ISO format and then mount it with mount command.

Iat (Iso9660 Analyzer Tool) is a tool, by Salvatore Santagati, for detecting the structure of many types of CD-ROM image file formats, such as BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, and B5I, and converting them into ISO (ISO-9660).


----

====== Installation ======

It’s included in the Debian repositories, so installation is simple:

<code bash>
sudo apt-get install iat
</code>

----

====== Usage ======

It very easy to use:

<code bash>
iat input-image-file output-iso-file
</code>

EXAMPLES:

Convert MDX-image to ISO9660:

<code bash>
iat image.mdx image.iso
</code>

Convert NRG-image to ISO9660:

<code bash>
iat image.nrg image.iso
</code>

Convert BIN-image to ISO9660:

<code bash>
iat image.bin > image.iso
</code>

Write CD directly from MDF-image:

<code bash>
iat image.mdf | cdrecord
</code>

If output file name is not defined, then STDOUT will be used instead.

Then we can mount ISO image with standard Linux tools:

<code bash>
mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/disk
