Convert NRG to CDI

Understanding NRG and CDI file formats

The NRG file format is a proprietary disc image format used by Nero Burning ROM, a popular disc authoring software. It is commonly used to store exact copies of CDs or DVDs, including all the data, file structure, and metadata. NRG files are often used for backing up discs or for creating virtual drives.

On the other hand, the CDI file format is associated with DiscJuggler, another disc authoring software. CDI files are also disc image files, used to store the contents of a CD or DVD. They are particularly popular in the gaming community for storing and distributing game disc images.

How to convert NRG to CDI

Converting an NRG file to a CDI file involves extracting the data from the NRG file and then creating a new CDI file with that data. This process can be done using specialized software that supports both file formats.
