Probably, you might have been using the new version. The command for new version should be the following

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Ventura\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB

Hi, I tried the updated terminal command you posted but im still getting the "command not found" error. Also, while formatting my USB flash drive with disk utility I did not see the "scheme" option in order to select GUID. It just didnt show at all. Could that be related? What do you suggest I try? Thanks!

Hello friends, I went to create a Ventura pendrive with the following command line sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Ventura.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB but I noticed two things, the first is that it has several .im4m files inside it, is that right? And the second when I went to mount the compatible EFI to put OpenCore in it, I saw that I can't record and "apple udfi read only memory" appears. What can it be?

Still getting the same error.
