How to Quickly Convert NRG Files to ISO - Ubuntu 11.10/11.04


In this tutorial we will see how to use the terminal to quickly convert files having the .nrg extension to iso. The .nrg extension is derived from the Nero AG company and used by Nero Burning ROM to create and burn CD images.

If you want a quick way to convert from NRG to ISO under Ubuntu, then you need first to installnrg2iso using this command: 

sudo apt-get install nrg2iso

Once nrg2iso is well installed, open the terminal and cd to the folder containing the .nrg file and run this command:

nrg2iso image.nrg output.iso

Replace "image.nrg" with the name of your file. "output.iso" is the name of the iso file that will be created in the current folder, you can rename it to whatever you want.

That's it!
