Convert Amazon AMI to VMware image

Raw

gistfile1.txt

If you still have access to the instance, use "dd" to copy it off to a raw file (possibly just directly piping over SSH to the destination system like in ssh your.ec2-syst.em 'dd if=/dev/sdh bs=1M | gzip' | gunzip | dd of=/tmp/ec2-image.raw) and then using something like qemu-img to convert the raw image to a VMDK file.
