| File Description |
Mountable disk image file created in Mac OS X; opening the image file will mount a virtual disk on the Desktop; commonly used for software installers downloaded from the Internet.
The DMG format replaces the .IMG file format used in Mac OS Classic and is not compatible with Mac OS 9 and earlier; DMG disk images can be opened on Macintosh computers using Apple Disk Utility, which is bundled with Mac OS X.
DMG files are Mac-specific and are not meant to be opened on Windows; however, Daemon Tools may be able to mount some DMG images files as virtual drives; other utilities may be able to convert DMG files to a more standard format that can be recognized by Windows. |
