I have just sold my beloved iMac G4 17″ for a second hand powerbook g4 1 Ghz. What can i say i have to work on the road, i would look like a nut case to carry an iMac around with me everywhere. What i didn’t realize is that, the powerbook i just bought has no Superdrive. But i thought it would be ok, since i also have a PC with DVD writer at home. Until i faced the dmg file issue which Windows doesn’t recognize at all. I can’t use Nero or anything. Basically, in the PC world, dmg file doesn’t exist. So, i googled around and i am glad i did. And the solution is the software called Transmac.

With Transmac for Windows, dmg file can be read & burn like on a Mac using Disk Utility. Transmac let you mount dmg file, expand then burn dmg file to DVD, CD and DL DVD (before you can burn you need to expand compressed dmg file first). I have to say that at first i didn’t think it would work at all. Not just working but it is also very easy to use as well, it even works with Bootable Mac DVD like Leopard DVD. You can download a 15 days trial version of Transmac here. After you try it, i am sure you will want to buy it. Transmac was surely a great spend for me in a long time.

Note: I started this post just to tell people that they can write CD/DVD from an dmg image file on Windows PC but the easiest way is to use a Windows software called Transmac. Consequently, this post automatically turned into a software review post instead, i might as well tell you the specification of the Transmac for Windows. Well, thanks for reading.
