What is NRG file?
NRG (Nero CD/DVD Image File) is a file format designed by Nero AG for Nero Burning ROM. The extension is used to create ISO and NRG files, which are used for burning CD/DVDs. NRG files contain data organized in the same way as an optical disc, so they can be used as a backup of a disc, as well as a source for burning. The file supports media such as audio data, video data and other image types. Technical Details NRG files are stored in a proprietary format and are typically accompanied by .

How to convert the file from DAO to NRG?
To successfully convert the DAO file to NRG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DAO). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case NRG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than NRG).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DAO to NRG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DAO files to NRG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension NRG, while before this step we had the DAO file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new NRG file, or not.
