Converting NRG to ISO in MAC

AFAIK, single session disk image in NRG format is a 600 bytes header and standard iso data after that. To remove the first 600 bytes, we can use dd utility from terminal.

Replace source.nrg with your NRG file and target.iso with your desired target iso file name.
Good luck.
