Hi,

I have downloaded a bin file and I'd like to convert it to iso so I can burn it. Is it possible to do this with linux?

Thanks for your help!

do you have the cuefile? If so you can burn it fine (I think you use cdrdao for .bin/.cue). Without it i think the bin is useless.

trinity,

You can do it the hard way with mkisofs (Make ISO File System) then burn it.

What is is the content of the *.bin file?
If its already the imange of a CD, then just burn it.

Try mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/*bin/ /mnt/some_mount_point if you don't know. If your *.bin is a CD image, this will mount it like a CD.
You need loop device support in your kernel for this.

You can have bin2iso generate a cue file. It works well for single track CD's./

This won't work. I have no idea why, but it won't work. A better solution would be to emerge virtualcd. It is the only method that I know of that will allow you to mount the bin/cue image to the filesystem.

Get FireBurner for Linux. It will burn your bin/cue pair to a CD.

I was mostly talking about mounting the bin/cue miages. For burning them I use cdrdao. It burns them with no problem at all.

The best thing todo is use "www.daemon-tools.com" or mount in linux. to mount the image. Then use a CDRW tool to make a ISO image using that mount.
