Convert VBOX to VDI

Can you convert VBOX to VDI?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert VBOX to VDI?
No - not a direct conversion.

.vdi is a virtual hard-disk image; .vbox is only the configuration. The .vbox references existing .vdi files but cannot be turned into one - there is no disk data inside it.
