You can save a number of files on a Mac using the Disk Image. If you’re attempting to burn a Dmg file on a Windows PC, chances are you will only get frustrated since the file is practically alien to Windows. Some suggest that you could just rename the file extension to .iso and burn it using any type of software. However, this can’t be performed using double layered DVD’s.

So what happens next? The fact is there are a number of softwares that you can use for this particular task that include:

Transmac
