[Qemu-devel] VMWare disk files

does anybody know the structure of vmware disk files? it would be great to 
have a tool that converts vmware files to cow images - for dummies!
we need a way of converting images which is easy enough to get people 
interested in switching to qemu.
qemu may not yet be ready to replace vmware, but this would be a way to start 
this development.

i looked at it, and it looks good, although it does not seem to cover vmware4, 
the current version.
what makes things worse: my knowledge of c++ is at its beginning, so i won't 
be able to rewrite this for the qemu project. i'm working on my c++, promise!
if someone makes a tool for translating images from vmware to qemu, i will be 
glad to test it and maybe try and adjust it to suit vmware4.

Is there a similar tool for Virtual PC disk files?

In this same vein, does anyone know of anyone who has attempted to
read/convert EnCase evidence image files? It would be really helpful if,
at some point, it were be possible with some emulator to boot a
compromised machine image in order to test things.  Just a thought...
Maybe sometime I'll find time to look into it myself.
