Why bin/cue?
"Nehmo Sergheyev" wrote in message
... I got a program, Chief Architect v9 (Pantheon copy), off eMule that was divided up into bin/cue files. I had never before unpacked something in the bin/cue arrangement, but I was able to find BinWizard v 3 http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Port/9315/ And it worked. But BinWizard only asks for is the cue file, which is substantially smaller than the que file. I imagine that the actual data is in the bin but the cue somehow dictates how it's extracted or arranged. Apparently people use bin/cue when they burn CDs. What for? What's the purpose of dividing something up into those types of files? And what actually does each file do? A BIN file is an ISO of, in your case, the original "Chief Architect" software disc, and the CUE is its index file. More he http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_usingnero_bincue.php Regards, Ian. |

Critically, the ISO spec covers only data discs where BIN/CUE can be used for data or audio. That alone gives one of the reasons for using BIN/CUE. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

What's an ISO? A CIF? BIN and CUE? .DAT? http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq02.html#S2-28 In common use, an "ISO" is a file that contains the complete image of a disc. Such files are often used when transferring CD-ROM images over the Internet. Depending on who you're talking to, "ISO" may refer to all disc image files or only certain kinds. (Is the above "quite dated" and does it have "significant" errors, Mikey?) ===================== From: Mike Richter (Slimy Scum) Date: 5/24/02 I've posted privately to Andy on the FAQ section.

Lies. An ISO is a direct copy of a disc. It doesn't matter what is on the
disc, and as such can be an image of any disc, including CD-audio and DVD. bin/cue is just another format. the .bin holds the data, the .cue holds the layout of the data on the disc.

If you want to do a true CD Extra, you have to comply with the rules for CD Extra - which means TAO and no titles. ECDC and anything else which complies with the standard will comply with the standard. I know that's hard to accept, but try - real hard. ===================== ----------------------- No friggin' ****, Mikey ----------------------- |

I think you will find that it can contain any sort of file you want ;-)

Why post when you just do not have a clue.. ISO CAN'T CONTAIN WAV FILES, AUDIO TRACKS.. You two are in essential agreement - what may be called "violent agreement" - though neither is altogether correct. The ISO 9660 standard provides an image format (called an 'ISO' and often having an extension of .ISO) which covers only properly formed data discs. The data stored may be in any sort of file, including WAV. Since an audio track is not a file, it cannot be included in an 'ISO'. There are other kinds of information which can be on a disc but will not be imaged in an 'ISO'including the deliberately malformed structures used in 'copy protection'.
