VirtualBox and VMware uses the .vmdk file >=20 VirtualBox should recognize the VHD format just fine. The only formats I am aware do not work with VirtualBox are the '.raw' and '.qcow2' (and I think the '.qcow2' do work somewhat recently). Just a "FWIW" statement. I actually haven't checked if the raw format works in a while, so it is possible it may work now.
