| File Description |
Mountable disk image created in Mac OS X; contains raw block data typically compressed and sometimes encrypted; commonly used for Mac OS software installers that are downloaded from the Internet; mounts a virtual disk on the desktop when opened.
The DMG format replaces the older .IMG file format, which is used in Mac OS Classic and is not compatible with Mac OS 9 and earlier; DMG disk images can be opened using the Applie Disk Utility that is bundled with Mac OS X on Apple computers.
DMG files are Mac-specific and are not intended for use in Windows; however, Windows Daemon Tools may be able to mount virtual drives from some DMG image files; other utilities may also be able to convert DMG files to a format that can be recognized by Windows. |
