Bin and Cue

[ticktock]

I have a Bin and Cue file, how do i turn them into a CD or ISO?

If you have Nero installed from the main application go to Recorder > Burn Image . You can also use Alcohol 120% or any other program that supports bin/cue files to change it to a cd.

As for turning it to an .iso file, why do you want that? You already have an image file.

.bin CD images are essentially the same as .iso images, just different extension. you don't actually need the .cue file to mount/burn .bin images.

is this a dvd image?

700 Mb of a .BIN image are not the same as 700Mb CD-R, 74min. standard. From afterdawn (which are not 100% correct btw):

On a 74 min CD you can fit very large RAW images,up to 333,000 x 2352 = 783,216,000 bytes (747 Mb)

Just btw

.bin CD images are essentially the same as .iso images, just different extension.
.ISO images are always Mode1/2048 bytes/sector, however the content might vary: For example, if you burn a .ISO image from a PSX CD, it won't ever run because you need to extract the data sectors (Mode 2/Form1/ 2352 bytes/sectors). So both CDs and DVDs images are possible

.BIN files are RAW 2352 b/s and CDs only.


you don't actually need the .cue file to mount/burn .bin images.

Hmm... wrong. If you burn/mount a .BIN with CDDA tracks, standard CD audio, without the correct .CUE, you will get only one track so not correct data. That would be correct for 1 track Mode 2XA images (every PS2 CD, most PSX but not all)

Edit: Just remem to mention a real .bin image can't work on a DVD

i've never had any problems with burning without cue sheets, nor do i know or care about the technical aspects of iso vs bin /shrug
