What Do To With .bin Files?

[toddiscool]

Please man read the material given to you, in the link in my signature there is a very easy to follow 1,2,3 guide there. All that you need is the bin file, not the the cue or the nfo file. Please read sugestions, we try and help but sometimes it gets very hard, when you do not listen to us. DO you want me to paste the complete guide in here?

You state near the top: "You do not need a .cue to burn a .bin file. The .cue file is only needed for NERO."

I'm using NERO. So what do I do with the .cue?


And how does converting it to ISI make things easier?

I caught a reference that only Nero needs the .cue to make it work properly. If I got a different CD-burning program, would I be able to just burn the .bin DIRECTLY onto the CD and have it work properly?

You asked for diffrent programs. The converting to iso is there incase CDRwin will not burn the bin, some it will not.

It may be, but it doesen't answer my questions or discuss putting a .bin ON TO a CD.

Now, can't I just burn the .bin DIRECTLY on to the CD?

I also think that you may be confused as to what a bin is. Read this pinned topic on them

In short you cannot just burn a bin onto a cd. How about his, just follow the steps. If it does not work then say it is stupid.

If you use Nero and have the .cue and .bin file, load up Nero Express. Then click on Disc image or saved project. Then in the File Type drop down list, scroll till you find iso/cue/nrg. Then navigate to where the .cue file is and open that. Then in the next window press Next... People need to learn how to RTFM...

Now we're getting somewhere. This is language I can understand.

Now, I guess my next question should be how do I GET a .cue file? I'm in the directory where I have what I THINK is one, and I have the proper file type selected, but it's not there.

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.

Burning BIN/CUE Images with Nero Burning Rom
Created: 14/Feb/2002  Last updated: 31/May/2002

BIN/CUE image format is quite common on the Internet. It might seem that finding an appropriate software for burning these images is quite hard. Luckily, it's not. In addition to Golden Hawk CDRWin, the original software for BIN/CUE format, you can also use Nero Burning Rom to burn the images.

Please make sure that you have the latest version of Nero (at least 5.5.8.2) before proceeding.


Verify the CUE-sheet and open it with Nero
Before doing anything else you have to verify that the path in the CUE-sheet is correct. A CUE-sheet is a plaintext file describing the structure and the location of the BIN-file. You can open up the .CUE -file using, for example, Notepad.

The file should look something like this:

FILE "IMAGE.BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00


Usually the CUE-filename and the BIN-filename have the same body -- e.g. IMAGE. All you need to do is verify that there is no path information on the
FILE "IMAGE.BIN" BINARY
-line. Ie. it should not read e.g.
FILE "C:\TEMP\IMAGE.BIN" BINARY
If there is any path information on the line, just remove it so that you have just the name of the .BIN-file as in the example above. Also make sure that the name of the .BIN in the CUE-sheet is the same as the actual .BIN file you have on hard-disk.

Next load Nero Burning Rom and choose File, Burn Image....


Load the CUE-sheet in Nero
Choose the Files of Type: dropdown menu and select All Files *.*. Next just locate the .CUE file, select it and click Open. Make sure you select the .CUE -file, not the .BIN -file.

Burn the image
All you have to do then is choose the writing speed, select the Disc-At-Once Write Method, and click Write.

That's it! After a couple of minutes you'll have a CD with the BIN/CUE Image written on it.

Notice! Nero is not capable of handling all kinds of BIN/CUE Images. If you have problems using Nero for your image file, you should take a look at CDRWin instead.

Errrrrrrr...

NO, not as data.
Just select to do it as an image file.
