OMG I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO CONVERT when i saw the % show up i was F**K YEAH!!!!!!!! problem im having now is mac doesnt run .exe so ill have to get windows somehow to just to open the files and get the plugins im trying to get anyway ill write how i did it so we can get what we need with out headaches :)
1.go to applications, down to ulities then open terminal 2.make sure the contents from uif2iso-0.1.2p0 is on the desktop (that folder can be download from top of this article) 3.go to terminal and type ls and hit return (should see everthing) 4.if you see desktop amongest the list type cd Desktop and hit return 5. then type ls again and it should show everything on the desktop 6.then copy paste this ./uif2iso file.uif file.iso and paste it into terminal and hit return
biggest problem i had is that the uif file needs to be called file.uif (my file orginally was called ALL AFTER EFFECTS PLUGINS.uif and once i changed that to file.uif and hit return it converted it to iso with all the .exe files
good luck and thanks TO EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM Jonathan,tcurdt special thanks

Put all files into the same directory. Then open terminal and use "cd" to change into that dir. Then execute "./uif2iso file.uif file.iso" (Note the leading "./"!!) to start the process. Never thought you have to be an alpha geek for that :)

I have no real idea how to use terminal. You gave some instructions above but I don't know how to do what you are saying. "Open terminal and use "cd' to change into that dir." What exactly do you type. cd (then what?) my files are on my desktop.
Obviously, I'm not getting what it is you are tying to say. Could you give me some further instruction?

Hey this is great. I have been trying to do this for a few days. Also its the first time I will use the terminal! Always wanted to. what other kinds of things can you do from there?
Jonathan
· 1 year ago
Here is what I did (and I'm somewhat of a Terminal newbie) 1. Open Terminal (usually found in Applications/Utilities 2. while in terminal type ls 3. You should see a list of directories. Look for Desktop. If listed then, 4. cd Desktop 5. Type ls again to insure you are on the right level of your HD and your file is there 6. type the instructions as listed above by tcurdt where file.uif is the name of the file you want to convert and file.iso is the name you want to give the converted file. 7. Press return and wait a few secs/minutes depending on the size of the file. 8. Voila! There you have it!
Thanks again for the compile!

Is there any detailed method on how to do this in mac os? I am trying to make it with terminal but no luck...it says error...
This is what i get everytime i try to convert it... I use this command "./uif2iso "dvd.uif" dvd.iso"

terminal n00b here i'm afraid...
i have uif2iso.exe on my desktop, along with a.uif, i've done this in terminal:
Uh, boy ...I should work on my patience. Or just create UI for it - that might be actually easier ;)
1. open terminal 2. cd Desktop 3. unzip uif2iso-0.1.2p0.zip (or unzip it via clicking on the archive) 4. cd uif2iso-0.1.2p0 5. ./uif2iso a.uif a.iso
Guys, please do yourself a favor and learn at least the command line basics!

Micheal, it looks like you did what i did, i nearly gave up, but it looks like you have downloaded the software from the wrong link you need to download the software from the link "my build (complied for intel)" try this and you will now be able to convert files, also make sure there are no spaces in your file name as it won't work, i'm a newbie to terminal as well, cheers great tool by the way
Jeremiah
· 1 year ago
Thanks man! I used to spend all kinds of time transfering files back and forth to Windowsland just to convert these file.
Jeremiah
· 1 year ago
Here are the easy no fail steps to use this:
1. Click on Spotlight and search for and open "Terminal" 2. Open the uif2iso-0.1.2p0 folder and drag "uif2iso" to the Terminal window. 3. You should now see a long sting of text, put a space after this text, then drag the xxxxx.uif file to the Terminal Window. 4. There is now more text in the window, put another space after it and drag the xxxxx.uif in there again, this time delete the "uif" off the end and replace it with "iso" press enter, wait and there should be a new iso file in the same folder as the original "uif" file.
The reason some people are having problems is that they are not typing the full path to the files in the Terminal. The above steps work regardless and you don't have to type anything.
Angelo
· 1 year ago
I have compiled uif2iso for mac osx ppc and it works. I will post link shortly.
Once you have the right file, unzip it with StuffIt and copy all files into one directory, let say
Then in Terminal, choose your directory wher you have put all the files in my case in mac/desktop/uif2iso , the uif2iso application AND the uif file that you want to convert, in my case the LK.uif
You should see the following prompt: mac:~/desktop/uif2iso mac$
Then type exactly the following (copy and paste also works..!) ./uif2iso lk.uif lk.iso
It should work.

I am having some problems with this. I am new to mac and it is my first time using the command terminal but nothing i try seems to work. heres what I have done.
cd Desktop
ls
cduif2iso-0.1.2.0
then I have also put the file I want to change in to the uif2iso-0.1.2p0 folder and run the script as follows.
./uif2iso fbtb.uif fbtb.iso
but all I get as a responce is: -bash: uif2iso: command not found
Please could someone explain where I am going wrong here. Sorry I know its supose to be easy but like I said im new to mac. thanx

I'm kinda lost with all the compile stuff and such. Using a PPC, G4/867DP. DL'd The newer PPC version from message #45 and created a folder with just the uif2isc.c and uif2iso.diff.txt inside of it. What do I do next? Can someone post instructions inside of ONE POST so that the newbies can pick up on terminal programming. Requesting instructions. Sounds like a great tool. I'd like to use it hopefully soon. Thank you everyone! Donnie Dixon

Torsen, That's a fantastic piece of software you rebuilt. I did get it to work on my G4 PPC. The only instructions that worked were #34. I am posting my results to share with others. Are there any good command-line tutorials for newbies? I see now the serious importance of knowing how to navigate the Terminal. My Terminal input results:
Welcome to Darwin! [pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~] donniedi% cd Desktop [pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/Desktop] donniedi% cd uif2iso-0.1.2p1 [pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/Desktop/uif2iso-0.1.2p1] donniedi% ls Instructions uif2iso uif2iso.txt Makefile uif2iso.c file.uif [pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/Desktop/uif2iso-0.1.2p1] donniedi% ls Instructions uif2iso uif2iso.txt Makefile uif2iso.c file.uif [pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/Desktop/uif2iso-0.1.2p1] donniedi% ./uif2iso file.uif file.iso

GUIDE:
If you will be using uif2iso on a regular basis it makes sense to copy it to you systems /bin directory.
Doing so will enable you do use the program without having to navigate to it etc.
**********
First of all, using the Finder move the file called uif2iso from the folder you downloaded to the Desktop, this is purely to make things easier once in the terminal.
**********
Load up Terminal,
Everything after a $ you will need to type into the Terminal window
Replace LOGINNAME with your username
$ sudo cp /Users/LOGINNAME/Desktop/uif2iso /bin
Enter your password
**********
The sudo command gives cp (copy) permition to copy a file to /bin, which is normally locked for normal users.
If you want to check it worked do the following
$ cd /bin $ ls
You should see a list of files, one of them should be uif2iso
**********
Now uif2iso is installed you can use it.
As before replace LOGINNAME with your username and replace FILENAME.UIF and FILENAME.ISO with the filename of the file you wish to convert
Hopefully that will be detailed enough for anyone to follow, have fun :D

Alright guys... UIF2ISO for Mac now has a proper project page. Please go to http://vafer.org/projects/uif2iso4mac/ and upgrade to the new 1.0.3 release. It does not solve the DVD image issue but it will get you auto updates. So you will never miss upcoming versions. Enjoy!

@santa: Thanks for letting me know the error message.
I think easiest would be to create an UIF file from scratch with MagicDisk. Then it can be still a DVD but small. If someone could get around to create - one that would be great. I would first need to get hold of a windows machine. That might take a bit.

I don't get any error messages at all. This Wonderful Tool goes ahead to create the .ISO Image alright but when I mount the image, I find nothing inside it: Just an Empty image. You asked if I could send you the image file. Where should I send it to... and by the way, the DVD is about 3.5GB, which is rather big. Cheers. We appreciate your good work. Additionally, I suggest you create a "DONATION PAGE" so that sincere users may support you with whatever they could.

@santa, @Poiz: I've create a DVD myself on a windows machine. So far I could not reproduce the problems you guys are reporting. So either the image you guys have is broken ...or just somewhat different. Different version, compressed vs uncompressed, password protected ...or who knows what. So as a first step it would be great if you could send me a screenshot showing the uif2iso4mac window. (Apple+shit+4) ...and as a second step I would need the exact same image. As it's quite big you could also burn it onto a DVD and send it over. See "contact" for the address. Cheers.

Not as much fun but the easiest way to convert uif is to go to http://vafer.org/projects/uif2iso4mac/ and download the program. After unstuffing just drag your .uif file onto the program icon and you will have an .iso file.

I had the empty iso problem when I downloaded the first uif2iso software, but then i tried with the new version uif2isomac and it worked. http://vafer.org/projects/uif2iso4mac/

it seems to give the Failed to Unzip BLHR data notice with files "uif-ed" w a later version of magic... i'm thinking it's not to be fixed until a new release?

@jk, Tim, John: Sorry for the late response. Have been away. This is due to the fact that they keep changing the file format. Luis and I will try get this fixed. But unfortunately this turned out to become a cat and mouse game. Blame the people for using this silly format.

Hello,
I am trying to convert a uif to iso using uif2iso4mac but I get the error in a message window:
Conversion Failed CUE File Embedded + a button with the word "bummer"
On a separate window, I get:
Size 766731919 Version 1 Image Type 9 Sector Size 2048 Sectors 399542 Hash a9f44757edfdf08fb0246dc044c8bba0 Status Failed
Any Help? Thanks Alex

@Alex: embedded CUE files and passwords are not supported by uif2iso4mac yet. The latest command line version from Luis does though. But you would have to compile it yourself.

So, I have a .uif file that I'm trying to convert into an .iso.
basically, after converting the .uif into an .iso- I'm left with a folder that you would have with the disc normally. Except...well, there's no ISO file to be found. Just a bunch of .exe's and the like. I've tried looking for the .iso file on DaemonTools and Windows Explorer...but I still can't find this .iso file. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...I open the converter by Luigi, and it says locate the .uif file. I do so: I double click. It then asks to name the new file: I do so. I type .iso after it just so I know (I guess).
After it unpacks the .uif file, and gives me a WinRAR folder. I've tried mounting the file with DaemonTools. Except it won't work. I've tried Extracting and looking for an ISO. It doesn't work either.
Can someone please help me? :(
tcurdt
· 1 year ago
@Rick: Sorry, but it's really hard to follow what you are talking about. (What is a "WindRAR folder" supposed to be? I only know RAR archives!) Indeed Luigi's tools also works on Windows but it sounds like you are a Windows user and therefor are totally wrong here anyway. This post is about converting an UIF to an ISO under OSX(!) As a Windows user you can just use the MagicISO tool for this. As an OSX user uif2iso4mac is probably the easiest way. Good luck!
Rick
· 1 year ago
My apologies, tcurdt. I figured that maybe could still help me out here- since this seemed somewhat more reputable than other websites that I've been to. I don't want to pay for MagicISO- seems like a waste of $24.95USD. But again, just listing my thanks :)
tcurdt
· 1 year ago
@Rick: They used to have a free version that let you convert from UIF to ISO. Maybe checkout their trial. But Luigi's tool should work as well.
Rick
· 1 year ago
I think I might have shed some light on the matter: don't know if it's right, but maybe you might now...I'm thinking SecuROM might be blocking it. And I need anti-Blacklisting Software, but I'm not sure where to look for it. Do you have an inkling, so I might know where to go? :) Thanks!

Hey, I just found this application but when I try to open the uif file, it gives an error saying: "decryption only supported on Intel processors" On the website it mentions it should run on older macs. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks
Once program opens: Click on File/Open. Open your .uif file It then converts it to an .iso Open your newly made .iso right click to "open with" DiskImageMounter
Simply an excellent resource! Worked like a charm and saved time too = )

You made my day!!
1.go to applications, down to ulities then open terminal
2.make sure the contents from uif2iso-0.1.2p0 is on the desktop (that folder can be download from top of this article)
3.go to terminal and type ls and hit return (should see everthing)
4.if you see desktop amongest the list type cd Desktop and hit return
5. then type ls again and it should show everything on the desktop
6.then copy paste this ./uif2iso file.uif file.iso and paste it into terminal and hit return
biggest problem i had is that the uif file needs to be called file.uif (my file orginally was called ALL AFTER EFFECTS PLUGINS.uif and once i changed that to file.uif and hit return it converted it to iso with all the .exe files
good luck and thanks TO EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM Jonathan,tcurdt special thanks
You rock!
thanks
thanks again,
The Lawnmower Man [well getting there one baby step at a time]
Obviously, I'm not getting what it is you are tying to say. Could you give me some further instruction?
1. Open Terminal (usually found in Applications/Utilities
2. while in terminal type ls
3. You should see a list of directories. Look for Desktop. If listed then,
4. cd Desktop
5. Type ls again to insure you are on the right level of your HD and your file is there
6. type the instructions as listed above by tcurdt where file.uif is the name of the file you want to convert and file.iso is the name you want to give the converted file.
7. Press return and wait a few secs/minutes depending on the size of the file.
8. Voila! There you have it!
Thanks again for the compile!
I am trying to make it with terminal but no luck...it says error...

- open dvd.uif
- create file.iso
Error: Invalid argument
This is what i get everytime i try to convert it...
I use this command "./uif2iso "dvd.uif" dvd.iso"
gj UR 31337 tyvm
Try mounting the .iso you just created with Toast Titanium.
worked for me.
i have uif2iso.exe on my desktop, along with a.uif, i've done this in terminal:
Gregs-MacBook-Pro:~/desktop Greg$ uif2iso a.uif a.iso
and i get this:
-bash: uif2iso: command not found
or when i try
Gregs-MacBook-Pro:~/desktop Greg$ ./uif2iso a.uif a.iso
i get this:
-bash: ./uif2iso: is a directory
ideas on a postcard please! Thanks
1. open terminal
2. cd Desktop
3. unzip uif2iso-0.1.2p0.zip (or unzip it via clicking on the archive)
4. cd uif2iso-0.1.2p0
5. ./uif2iso a.uif a.iso
Guys, please do yourself a favor and learn at least the command line basics!
try so many way. Can anyone help me ? please
joe
-bash: ./uif2iso: cannot execute binary file
Is this because my Mac isn't Intel-based?
Das is good, ja. You are uber cool.
Do I take it this only works for Intel Macs and not PPC?
thank you so much...
;)
1. Click on Spotlight and search for and open "Terminal"
2. Open the uif2iso-0.1.2p0 folder and drag "uif2iso" to the Terminal window.
3. You should now see a long sting of text, put a space after this text, then drag the xxxxx.uif file to the Terminal Window.
4. There is now more text in the window, put another space after it and drag the xxxxx.uif in there again, this time delete the "uif" off the end and replace it with "iso" press enter, wait and there should be a new iso file in the same folder as the original "uif" file.
The reason some people are having problems is that they are not typing the full path to the files in the Terminal. The above steps work regardless and you don't have to type anything.
If it is Not an Intel based Mac you need the file available under
http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/uif2iso.zip
If it is an Intel based Mac, you need the file available under
http://vafer.org/pub/builds/uif2iso-0.1.2p0.zip
Once you have the right file, unzip it with StuffIt and copy all files into one directory, let say
Then in Terminal, choose your directory wher you have put all the files
in my case in mac/desktop/uif2iso
, the uif2iso application AND the uif file that you want to convert, in my case the LK.uif
You should see the following prompt:
mac:~/desktop/uif2iso mac$
Then type exactly the following (copy and paste also works..!)
./uif2iso lk.uif lk.iso
It should work.
heres what I have done.
cd Desktop
ls
cduif2iso-0.1.2.0
then I have also put the file I want to change in to the uif2iso-0.1.2p0 folder and run the script as follows.
./uif2iso fbtb.uif fbtb.iso
but all I get as a responce is:
-bash: uif2iso: command not found
Please could someone explain where I am going wrong here.
Sorry I know its supose to be easy but like I said im new to mac.
thanx

If you will be using uif2iso on a regular basis it makes sense to copy it to you systems /bin directory.
Doing so will enable you do use the program without having to navigate to it etc.
**********
First of all, using the Finder move the file called uif2iso from the folder you downloaded to the Desktop, this is purely to make things easier once in the terminal.
**********
Load up Terminal,
Everything after a $ you will need to type into the Terminal window
Replace LOGINNAME with your username
$ sudo cp /Users/LOGINNAME/Desktop/uif2iso /bin
Enter your password
**********
The sudo command gives cp (copy) permition to copy a file to /bin, which is normally locked for normal users.
If you want to check it worked do the following
$ cd /bin
$ ls
You should see a list of files, one of them should be uif2iso
**********
Now uif2iso is installed you can use it.
As before replace LOGINNAME with your username and replace FILENAME.UIF and FILENAME.ISO with the filename of the file you wish to convert
$ uif2iso /Users/LOGINNAME/Desktop/FILENAME.UIF /Users/LOGINNAME/Desktop/FILENAME.ISO
**********
Hopefully that will be detailed enough for anyone to follow, have fun :D
this is on a mini running 10.5.2
just one slight cosmetic glitch, it reports the size as -888472519, but that does not stop it working

Has anyone experienced the same anomaly? Does anyone have a solution to this?
this is really great: that there always are people like you to do things like this!
danke!!!
Are there any errors shown in the status field?
I think easiest would be to create an UIF file from scratch with MagicDisk. Then it can be still a DVD but small. If someone could get around to create - one that would be great. I would first need to get hold of a windows machine. That might take a bit.

Some files require an Intel processor to decrypt as of now.
After trying to figure .uif to .iso your program worked :)
MAC 10.5.6 OSX instructions:
go to download page:
http://vafer.org/pub/builds/
Install:
uif2iso-for-mac-1.0.1.zip
Run program:
uif2iso
Once program opens:
Click on File/Open.
Open your .uif file
It then converts it to an .iso
Open your newly made .iso right click to "open with" DiskImageMounter
Thats it!
Thanks Again!
Thanks so much for that tool !
It works perfectly.
