UIF to ISO Converter - Windows and Linux

works like a charm ...very clear and concise howto.
Thanks

Thanks saved my day. No need for windows ;-)

The program compiles and runs fine, producing a 4G iso file. When I loop mount the iso file, there are no files in the mounted directory. `file` shows that the iso is OK.

# ls -alF 680_Math_Books_Collection.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4980295680 Apr 2 02:20 680_Math_Books_Collection.iso

# file 680_Math_Books_Collection.iso
680_Math_Books_Collection.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data '20080424_0403'

# mount 680_Math_Books_Collection.iso /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop
# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
.
.
680_Math_Books_Collection.iso
4863570 4863570 0 100% /mnt
# ls -alF /mnt
total 0

Any suggestions on why I don't see any files?

Thanks Joe

- open windows7.uif

Error: No such file or directory
jasonk@jasonk-laptop:~/src$

What am I doing wrong, the file is located on my desktop should it be somewhere else?

it's perfect. thanxs a lot!!

Works perfectly under Ubuntu 9.10 - Thanks a lot mate!

Can MagicISO open the file? If MagicISO can't open the file, then I think it is corrupt.

I have converted uif images 3GB+ so I don't think that size is the issue. Even if the file size is correct, the original source might be corrupt, or the file might have been corrupted during transfer.

Does the site that provided the file, list the MD5sum? If yes, then verify the md5sums match.

Hello

Thank you Dradmin for your help.

Are there any other possible reasons why the UIF will not convert to ISO or are there any other ways of opening it? I've tried all the software advice. In MagicISO i tried converting it but it came up with 'the source file is not invalidate UIF image'. Im sure it is a complete download. The size of the file is correct (1.75 gb). Is it possibly too large to open?

thanks for your help

"Error: WRONG BBIS SIGNATURE"

Is usually caused by an incomplete downloads. You probably have a partial uif image.

PLEASE HELP!

I cant seem to convert my uif file to iso. Whenever i follow your instructions it comes up with:

Error: WRONG BBIS SIGNATURE

How do i get around this? please help someone

thankz

casda

It looks like a permissions issue. "/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output
file uif2iso: Permission denied"

You can try one of the following:

1. Run the make command as root(sudo make), not the safest thing in
the world, but it will prove that the problem is the permissions.

2. Move the src directory to your home folder, i.e mv src
/home/username/src, and then try running the make command again,
without the sudo.

I'm guessing that src is located in a part of the filesystem that a
regular use doesn't have rights too, i.e /usr/bin/

Let me know if that helps, or if it gives you a different error message.

So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.

One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].

Great piece of code and very usefull indeed. Thanks a ton .. as a user of the open source community

Sorry, I'm running Ubuntu so I'm not sure how to fix this. However lots of people read this post, so someone may respond with a helpful answer.

Works great in Ubuntu 9.94

Thanks for the tip

Great job! I am all for getting this in the debian and ubuntu repositories.

I just wanted to say thanks for making available such a useful program. I'd come across some UIF files and had no way to burn them on my Ubuntu 9.04 box until I found your website. It worked flawlessly!

Try skipping that step, it is not necessary in 9.04

When mounting I get this error:

developer@ubuntu:~$ sudo modprobe loop
[sudo] password for developer:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Module loop not found.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04.

Robert

excellent program, works flawlessly. thank you for putting this out there.

Thanks bro! this worked perfectly!

perfect! huge time savor! thanks!

works under CentOS 5.3

yum install uif2iso

uif2iso example.uif output.iso

Thank you a lot, another boot to Windows has been skipped :D

David

Use:

unzip uif2iso.zip -d uif2iso

if you do not want to clutter your directories because the stupid zip does not embed any subdirectory.

And the two lines:

sudo mkdir ISO_directory
sudo mount /media/file.iso /media/ISOPoint/ -t iso9660 -o loop

are supposed to mention the same directory and it does not have to be owned by root or be in /media

Great information, concise simple and it is converting a file 2 minutes after reading your article.

Thanx for the howto!

Worked great on openSUSE 11. Thanks a ton.

Excellent!

- enable magiciso_is_shit encryption

thx dude..

To have this program in your database, I suggest to use checkinstall:
$ unzip uif2iso.zip
$ cd src
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall -D --install=no
then you can use whatever program you like to install it
example:
$ sudo dpkg -i
To uninstall it you can use a Synaptic package manager.

I'm wondering how to disable encryption, as requested. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

Hi! Thank you for this tip. I got through all of it without a hitch on Ubuntu 8.10, until I mounted the ISO and found that only the first third of the files were there (out of a 2.5 GB uif, I can only see the first 800 MB). Any suggestions? Thanks!

thank you. i'm new to linux and following your instructions was a breeze.

Lol nice.
In the command prompt, Luigi (creator of the converter) says "enable magiciso_is_shit encryption"
loved that one :)

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MANY Thanx!
You have freed us from the UIF scam!

I AM aloses and LINUX rules!

P.S. minor error did not prevent install.

What error message does it give you when you execute the

Also what Linux flavour do you have installed, Ubuntu 8.10, Slackware, Redhat?

Wes

Hi,

I am stuck on this command:

make
sudo make install

I do have to fill in something, the source, the uif file name??? I cant find the solution :-(
I hope somebody likes newbies and fill in the gaps :-)
alex

worked perfectly... thanks for makin it so ez

Thnx man,
works like a charm :D

superb!!!!its workn like a chrm...u re amzn man...i hav tried to unzip ths sht uif in windows and nothng wrkd there..ths thng rockzz...expctng more frm u...

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the simple HOW TO

install zlib and openssl ( devel packages) and try compiling again.
You cannot do make install if make failed.
Make suere that you have NO errors and the uif2iso program is created in the src directory

Bogdan

Thanks a lot ....

@alex

Make sure you install openssl-dev package.

@Blogger

Thank you!!! works perfectly. Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron

Hi,
if you dont feel like compiling, when unzipping the uif2iso.zip file, an uif2iso.exe is generated. If you have wine installed, copy the uif2iso.exe to the same folder as the uif file and type

wine uif2iso.exe yourfile.uif yournewfile

and a yournewfile.iso will hopefully be generated!

Error: wrong bbis signature <00000000>

Press RETURN to quit

I used the .UIF file and try to convert..

Thanks, works like a charm!!!

Thank you Wesley for the howto and thank you Luigi for the program.

Though I wish people would completely avoid proprietary formats.

Interestingly the author, Luigi, claims magiciso contains GPL violations.

Patricio i think you have a problem with libssl-dev; on mandriva i had to install libopenssl-dev

ok

thank you!

This is what I get

I'm very new to linux, but I guess that the package is removed?

Brilliant. Took about two minutes to do. Thank you so much!

thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very helpful tutorial, you saved me a lot of time struggling with Wine and Magiciso. Thank you.

HI ,thanks for the nice tool....
it works like a charm...

Thanks for the program worked great on Kubuntu. As an aside you don't have to download the gmountiso program. iso files can be mounted already with the command:
mount -o loop example.iso /media/temp

Thanks a lot, worked like it should on DreamLinux

sudo apt-get install gmountiso does not work, it cant find a package by that name.
nvm, mounted using the other method.

Thank you very much for this. You deserve a medal.

Many thanx ;D works perfectly fine for me

Thanks mate. This rocks! :)

Thanks! your utility has done the job.
:-)

Wes, Conversion works great! For mounting I didn’t test gmountiso
but this works too:
sudo modprobe loop
sudo mkdir ISOPoint
sudo mount /media/file.iso /media/ISOPoint/ -t iso9660 -o loop
Patricio

ok, I think I needed for Ubuntu we need to use:
build-essential without the “s”
Thanks,
Patricio

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this perfect utility.
I didn't see any type of license file included. You may want to apply a suitable license so that it can find its way into various distributions, and ultimately into other file system tools.

Much appreciated.

This is the best way to convert uif to iso on my Ubuntu Linux!! Thank you!

Thanks for the help bro, worked like a charm.
I'm not going to nitpick your steps, as you provided the pertinent info.

Apparently the source code is located inside a folder titled "src". So your step that says:

"unzip uif2iso.zip
cd uif2iso"

...should read:

"unzip uif2iso.zip
cd src"

Other than that, all was well. Thanks!

Many thanks, your utility has done the job.

Andy
