Does Ultra-ISO handle Macintosh .dmg/.dimg images? If so, does it handle all the various formats and hybrid formats? Does it know how to deal with HFS/HFS+/UFS partitions?

So far, the only Windows program I've been able to find that handles .dmg images is ISO Buster, which is great if I want to extract files, but that's all it can do. Plus, it only handles some formats (in particular, it doesn't handle standard compressed UDIF).

Thanks.

I'm about 80% sure that UltraISO works with .DMG image, unless the image file has only HFS volume.

I think not...

1) dmg is compressed usually
2) the remaining ones are with HFS+ FS

That depends on the image.  

UI can handle .DMG files provided:
1) It is a CD image and has ISO 9660 volume
2) It is not compressed or with encryption

PS: For compressed .DMG files, if you have access to the mac, you can always use hdiutil to convert the image into ISO.
