‘classic_mac_pack.dmg’ would be converted to ‘classic_mac_pack.iso’

In that case, you can actually use Disk Utility to convert the image (just use the 'convert' button) to a "CD/DVD Master". That will append .cdr to the filename - simply rename it to .iso and you're good to go. I never realized .cdr was equivalent to .iso.

With my WIN XP I tried burning the dmg file with the software TransMac. Doesn´t seem to work though cus my mac just tries to read the disc for then to finally spit it out. I always use Verbatim DVD DL so the media is not the faulty one ----- While I was typing this message I tried renaming my uncompressed dmg file to iso and burn it with Nero. So now I just tried it on my mac and it works! ...but I couldn´t run the install , the message said "cannot be installed on this machine". Perhaps cus I only have 256 MB in it and it requires 2GB. I´ll have to buy more and then I hope it works I have a copy of Snow Leopard 10.6 but cannot burn it on my iMac since I have no DVD DL burner for starters.
