Export VMWare to OVF Format

If you're running a VM in VMWare you may want to run it under VirtualBox.

On Mac VMWare has a tool inside the Application package called OVFTool

1. Open Terminal and cd to Applications/VMWare Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMWare OVF Tool
2. Run ./ovftool [source] [destination]
   where source: the .vmx file inside the .vmware package
   destination:  the .ovf file that you will import to VirtualBox
   e.g.
   VMWare OVF Tool [Mac username]$ ./ovftool "/Users/[Mac username]/VHDs/[VM machine name].vmwarevm/[VM machine name].vmx" "/Users/[Mac username]/VHDs/[VM machine name].ovf"

Be patient. It takes a long time!
