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: 

sudo apt-get install iat

Usage

It very easy to use: 

iat input-image-file output-iso-file

EXAMPLES:

Convert MDX-image to ISO9660: 

iat image.mdx image.iso

Convert NRG-image to ISO9660: 

iat image.nrg image.iso

Convert BIN-image to ISO9660: 

iat image.bin > image.iso

Write CD directly from MDF-image: 

iat image.mdf | cdrecord

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

Then we can mount ISO image with standard Linux tools: 

mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/disk
