Burning a Win disk image in UDF format

Hi.

I'm burning a Win7 ISO disk image which is in UDF format but in return i get a Mac OS extended format (which obviously not readable by my Win machine).

Any suggestion?

Could third party sw do the job?

how do I convert an obsolete .dmg using hdituil? I tried to open a .dmg and got the following alert The disk image format is obsolete. Please convert it to a new format using the command line tool 'hdiutil' For some crazy reason I don't—off the top of my head—know how to convert an obsolete .dmg using the command line tool "hdiutil," as the alert seems to assume I would, silly me. Anyone have any ideas as to how I might even start trying to figure this out? I'm using Monterey 12.3.1 on an M1 MBP

imac g3 (tray, revision A) os install help recently i bought an imac g3 (tray model, 1998 revision A) second hand from a reseller website. unfortunately they not only wiped the info on it but the os as well, and no install cds were provided. upon booting up it will load into the apple firmware console. i went out and bought blank cd-r discs to write an iso to some cds and install mac os 9 onto it (and eventually upgrade to OS X), but theres an issue. i dont have a mac with a cd/dvd drive, my only other mac is a MBAir M2 and i dont have any external drives. my only option is to use my windows 10 pc with a built in optical drive (i cant stand windows). but every iso ive trie has an error saying "this ISO is invalid" or something like that, which is supposedly a format error. so i got a third-party app to format it as ISO-9660+Joliet+UDF, which is recognized by windows so i can write the iso. but when i boot into the cd on the imac g3 the disc cant be used by it because its too old. does anybody know of a step-by-step way to write the os iso to a cd on windows AND still be usable on the imac or should i just get an external ODD for my macbook?
