Leopard 10.5 Dvd Dmg
DMG is a disk image format for Mac just like an ISO file in Windows. That means, it is possible to mount a DMG file on a virtual disk or write it to a DVD and access its contents. A macOS installation package with DMG extension enables creating bootable installer DVDs. My first experience with burning a DMG file to DVD was actually on Windows, back in 2013, when Mountain Lion was the operating system. I accidentally formatted the hard disk of my iMac and lost the recovery partition in the process. The only option left for me was buying an OS X Lion Installer disc as the Internet Recovery required a lot of bandwidth and time. Later, I found a way to burn macOS DMG file to a bootable DVD on my Windows laptop. Eventually, I restored my iMac to OS X 10.8 using the same DVD as macOS installation disc.

This is about burning a Mac OS X installer in DMG format (InstallESD.DMG) to a DVD in Windows environment. Please note that it’s an old method applicable for Mac OS X Mountain Lion. However, the procedure is somewhat same if you download a compatible macOS High sierra or Mojave in DMG format for Transmac on Windows.
Let’s see the steps and requirements to achieve what you see in the video.
- Get macOS Installer in DMG format. (Check below for macOS High Sierra and Mojave)
- In the video we use OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion downloaded from the Mac app store. You could also find a copy from the Internet.
- Install the free Windows application 7-ZIP (download) to extract and locate InstallESD.DMG, which includes all files to form a bootable macOS DVD.
- Now, download and install TransMac version 12 (15-day trial) for Windows 10 from this link.
- Run Transmac app as administrator, by right-clicking on its icon.
- Click on the File tab at the top, and select the option “Open Disk Image” to load macOS installer DMG file to the software.
- Find the DMG file loaded on the left side, right-click on it and choose to burn it to DVD.
- Once you write InstallESD.DMG file to DVD on Windows, load it to a Mac and start it.
- Press the Option key and select the listed DVD as your installation source.
The macOS High sierra and Mojave DMG files have a size around 5.8 GB, which is above the capacity of a normal DVD. Therefore, in this case, you need a dual-layer (8.5 GB) DVD to burn DMG file to a bootable DVD on Windows and Mac. Alternatively, if your Mac doesn’t have a DVD drive, You may consider making a bootable macOS USB installer.
Make a macOS High Sierra install DVD in Windows PC from DMG/ISO image
Apple has changed the file architecture of the macOS installer from OS X Mavericks 10.9. Hence, you cannot follow the above-given technique to directly extract InstallESD.DMG in Windows and make it a bootable DVD in newer macOS variants like Mojave and High Sierra. It is possible to locate InstallESD.DMG or Basesystem.DMG from the ‘Shared Support’ folder inside macOS installation package ending with .APP extension, but still, you cannot make it bootable for a USB or DVD.
A workaround for this problem is to create the DMG file in a Mac itself from the official macOS installer. However, most people searching for methods to burn macOS DVD on Windows don’t have a Mac in working state. We have converted macOS Mojave and High Sierra app to DMG format for such users.

Hence, we also provide High Sierra in DMG format for those who want it. For personal use on your Mac only. We will set an expiry date for the download link to prevent leaching and hot-linking.
Convert the downloaded macOS Mojave or High Sierra DMG to ISO or IMG
