Virtual Box Question

[nitrobass24]

Does anyone know how to convert VMware machines to VirtualBox machines?

I like to download the premade Vapps from VMware appliance site, and I have been using Server but a lot people have been talking about how great Virtual Box is so i thought I would give it a whirl.

I've done it. Now let me think.

First convert the VMware image to "raw". I belive I used:

qemu-img convert <the image> -O raw <new raw image>​

You'll need qemu of course

Then use vboxmanage like this (is in the Virtual Box folder):

VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI <raw image> <vdi image>​
