I have a file.img file that I want to convert to file.iso.

The tool ccd2iso does not seem to work for this task:

Unrecognized sector mode (0) at sector 0!

I ensured that the img file is not corrupted.

I suggest you to use iat (”Iso9660 Analyzer Tool“):

First install the package

sudo apt install iat

You can convert the image using the command

iat file.img file.iso

In my case, the tool ran for about half a minute (~3GiB image file). The output looked like this:

Iso9660 Analyzer Tool v0.1.3 by Salvatore Santagati
Licensed under GPL v2 or later
Detect Signature ISO9660 START at 32768
Detect Signature ISO9660 END at 36864 Image offset start at 0 Sector header 0 bit Sector ECC 0 bit Block 2048
Done

According to the man page, the supported formats are (at least) BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, B5I, and, of course, ISO-9660.

additional info

Iso9660 Analyzer Tool is not maintained anymore. It had been published to BerliOS, which is not online anymore. However, here are some working links:

• archived web page
• archived project page
• inofficial mirror
• latest release, officially backuped by BerliOS+SourceForge

a list of ”reference sites“:
