About:
Nrg2iso is a command-line utility designed to convert Nero Burning ROM image files (.nrg) into the standard ISO9660 disk image format. This conversion allows users to mount or process Nero-specific images on systems and software that only support the universal ISO format. It provides a straightforward solution for accessing data archived in the proprietary Nero format without requiring the original Nero software.
Key Features:
  • Converts proprietary Nero .nrg files to standard ISO9660 images
  • Lightweight, fast, and command-line driven
  • Supports direct extraction without needing to mount the source image
  • Cross-platform availability via Homebrew
Use Cases:
  • Accessing legacy data stored in Nero .nrg images on modern systems
  • Converting disk images for use in virtualization software or emulators
  • Batch processing of multiple Nero images for archival purposes
Alternatives:
  • bchunk – Converts .bin/.cue files (often ripped from CDs) to ISO; nrg2iso is specifically for Nero's .nrg format.
  • PowerISO – A full-featured commercial GUI tool for various image formats; nrg2iso is a free, lightweight CLI alternative focused only on conversion.
