1. $ sudo apt-get install qemu
2. $ wget http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/vditool
3. $ chmod +x vditool$ mv vditool /usr/local/bin/$ qemu-img convert -f vmdk /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\Machines/MCNLive/MCNLive.vmdk -O raw MCNLive.img
4. $ vditool DD MCNLive.vdi MCNLive.img
5. $ mv MCNLive.vdi .VirtualBox/VDI/
6. On this article the compact step left:
7. $ vditool SHRINK VirtualBox/VDI/MCNLive.vdi

This is necessary if your VMWare uses a 10 GB dynamic disks, but justhas 2 GB used. After qemu conversion, your image will be 10 GB.I use this steps once to convert a VMWare appliance to VirtualBox.
