Solution 1

We are going to use qemu-img tool to this.QEMU disk image utility

sudo apt-get install qemu

Convert a VMWare Image to VirtualBox Image

Convert VMWare image called debian.vmdk to /tmp/debian.bin

qemu-img convert debian.vmdk /tmp/debian.bin

Now use VBoxManage to get back image in native format:
