DMG Master Editor's Review

DMG Master is a disk image creation utility.

The interface of the application provides a pretty simple way to create disk images. You need to provide a name for the output file, a disk path, a compression level, the possibility to encrypt the image, and a list of files/folders as input.

The name of the archive can use some special regular expressions, so you can automatically insert things like date and time into the file name. The application can also overwrite or not an existing image if you use the same name.

A disk creation job can be saved as a document, so you can repeat that job anytime. This makes the application appropriate for backup tasks.

The file input supports multiple folders or files. This kind of feature is something that usually isn't available in these kind of applications because most of them use a single directory input.

Pluses: an easy way to create disk images; it can be used for backup purposes; it supports time dependent regular expressions for the file names; it is stable even when it works with large quantities of files.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: the application provides most of the features that are required for an application like this, except the possibility to customize the window and icon of the output disk image, thus is not the best option for software distribution. DMG Master is a pretty good backup application though. If you would like to try other (free) disk image creation utilities, then you may try CreaDMG or DMGConverter.
