UIF to ISO Converter - Windows and Linux

Many thanks, your utility has done the job.

Andy

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!

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

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

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.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

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

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

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

Thanks mate. This rocks! :)

Many thanx ;D works perfectly fine for me

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

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.

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

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

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

thank you, thank you, thank you!

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

This is what I get

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

thank you!

ok

Hello,
thanks for the prog but when I ran it I get this

why????????

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

Whats going wrong here??

Thanks, works like a charm!!!

Press RETURN to quit

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

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!

@alex

Make sure you install openssl-dev package.

@Blogger

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

Thanks a lot ....

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

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the simple HOW TO

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...

Thnx man,
works like a charm :D

worked perfectly... thanks for makin it so ez

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 :-)

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

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.

uif2iso.c: In function ‘nrg_truncate’:
uif2iso.c:933: warning: ignoring return value of ‘ftruncate’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

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

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

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!

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

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.

thx dude..

Excellent!

- enable magiciso_is_shit encryption

Worked great on openSUSE 11. Thanks a ton.

Thanx for the howto!

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

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

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

David

perfect! huge time savor! thanks!

works under CentOS 5.3

yum install uif2iso

uif2iso example.uif output.iso

Thanks bro! this worked perfectly!

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

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

Try skipping that step, it is not necessary in 9.04

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!

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

Works great in Ubuntu 9.94

Thanks for the tip

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.

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