Mac OS X users should all be familiar with [tt].dmg[/tt], a commonly used disk image format used in Mac OS X. But how do we create it?
Apple provided Disk Utilities (in Mac OS X v10.3 or later (and in Disk Copy in earlier versions). Although the creation of [tt].dmg[/tt] is not that difficult, it's a bit complicated when using the tool provided by Apple.
Script factory provides a nice and free tool - QuickDMG - allows creating DMG with little effort.
To use QuickDMG, you can simply drag a file or a folder into QuickDMG application icon, then make a quick selection on which type of DMG you want to use. We recommend using the "UDIF zlib-compressed" (default one).
QuickDMG is not designed for creating a complicated or highly professional disk images, it is designed to be easy to use. It not just does a quick job, but also a good job.
One thing I like QuickDMG most is that I don't have to specify the Disk Image file size first (as required by Disk Utility.)
What's the benefit of making a [tt].dmg[/tt]? As Tetsuro pointed out, unlike ZIP or StuffIt archives, you can open the compressed disk image without expanding it first. And there's also another good reason to use [tt].dmg[/tt] instead of [tt].zip[/tt], you can annoy Windows users.
