Open the mounted OS X Install ESD volume (from the installer app), and you’ll see a folder called Packages.

Inside that drive, open the System folder, and then open the Installation folder.

Open the destination drive, which has been renamed OS X Base System.

Wait for the restore procedure to finish, which should take just a few minutes.

Click Restore, and then click Erase in the dialog box that appears if prompted, enter an admin-level username and password.

Drag to the Destination field on the right.

In Disk Utility, find this newly mounted destination drive in the left sidebar.

THESE details are the secret sauce that cracked the puzzle for me! Apple Partition Map otherwise will become GUID and be unbootable (yep!), and CD master to give us a cdr file which we will rename to iso. Note the custom size is as small as you can go and fit it all in. Make a NEW BLANK DISK IMAGE: CD master, 7316Mb, Apple Partition Map and use the new mount as destination drive (I named it "Bootable El Capitan").Drag the BaseSystem.dmg icon into the Source field on the right (if it isn’t already there).Select BaseSystem.dmg in Disk Utility’s sidebar, and then click the Restore button in the main part of the window.Launch Disk Utility and then drag BaseSystem.dmg (in the OS X Install ESD volume) into Disk Utility’s left-hand sidebar.

SHOW hidden files (use a small app like me or use the Terminal command easily found on Google).

That volume will appear in the Finder as OS X Install ESD open it to view its contents.

Double-click InstallESD.dmg in the Finder to mount its volume.

In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support you’ll see a disk image file called InstallESD.dmg.

Right-click the installer app, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu.

The ElCap DiskUtility is rather too FisherPrice for my liking! This all assumes you have the El Capitan Installer app which will be our source. I strongly suggest doing this in (a VM of!) Mavericks or Yosemite as the old DiskUtility has the ability to create a CUSTOM SIZED image file, and I wanted to do that to make it as small as possible, rather than a wasteful 8.3Gb - mine comes in at 6.97Gb file. BTW this is tested and working in VMWare Fusion 8.0.1 running on ElCap host. I am going to list the steps in a rather verbose manner to avoid any confusion but you will see it is rather simple after all. I registered with MacRumors just to post this, so hopefully you (all) find it useful.

Sadly I discovered that all the old Mavericks and Yosemite stuff didnt work, but after much testing (in VMs of course!) I now DO have a fully bootable and working ISO of ElCap. I found this thread as I too was looking for a bootable ISO image of ElCap as I am a bit of a VM guy myself.

Here's the code anyway.Maybe someone else can tweak it to make it work. The reason being that during the installation,toward the end of the boot process it freezes. It seems there was code that was included in the O/S to dissuade the creation of optical discs though.
