Yes,

You can convert the dmg file to iso with f.e. UltraISO.
Use "convert" under the "tools" menu.

I've got a 130MB .dmg, which I wanna use in ShapeShifter..... should I try the same approach?

EDIT: Seems it works.... cross me fingers that it works in ShapeShifter now

Edit 2: Didn't work :( Nero didn't work either
