Hi Jack,

You were probably tricked by the email client, that made two lines of 
the one-line command:

just to illustrate:

xzcat file.vdi.xz > file.vdi

So if you use the following as one line, it should work.

xzcat dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz > 
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

-o-

Or am I misunderstanding? Do you mean that VirtualBox does not recognize 
the extracted vdi file?

After extraction md5sum should show

$ md5sum dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
ac4cd66df2fe8ccd7cd0f495c0bdea9f  dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

and ls -l shows

$ ls -l dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nio nio 2006974464 nov 25 11:40 
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

(approx. 2 GB, so I prefer to distribute it compressed).

It works with my VirtualBox (in Lubuntu Xenial). Please tell if you are 
still having problems.

Best regards
Nio
