I would recommend the DMG Extractor, very easy to use and it did the trick for me! Plus I felt in love with it after I managed to update my iPhone to test iOS 6 Beta!!

Here I would like to add SysTools DMG Viewer to view email files, images & HTML file type. As I was in need to view my specific file type i.e. MBOX file, which the software previewed efficiently.

I was having the same issue but it didn’t work for my newer DMG files.. I ended up using a tool called ‘DGM File Extractor’ which works quite well:
