bin and cue

How do I either
a) burn bin and cue
b) convert to .iso (thus solving a)
c) mount on loopback (thus solving all of the above...)

If you can answer B and C it'd be great

I know you can burn cue's with k3b, so i suppose you can do it with cdrtools (http://www.fokus.fhg.de/research/cc/glo ... ecord.html), or cdrdao (http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/).

b) emerge bin2iso

c)
mkdir /mnt/iso
mount -t iso9660 -o loop <filename.iso> /mnt/iso

To change the combination of a .bin and .cue to a .iso file:

Code: Select all

emerge bchunk
bchunk file.bin file.cue file

It's not particularly reliable, it seems - perhaps because the bin/cue spec is vague?

Yeah, probably, I'll have to start pulling things to ISO from now on...

Thanks guys

So use bin2cue, haven't had any problems with that one yet.

BTW if it is a movie or something then vlc will play them directly.

I think you mean bin2iso, since a google search for bin2cue returns almost nothing.

bin2iso is very nice.. nicer than bchunk

Answer C)

I use .bin .cues all the time I use the following project.
http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/

Which of course is installable via.

Code: Select all

 emerge cdemu

The nice thing about it is it give you a bunch of virtual cd's that you can use to mount like a regular cdrive.
No need to convert them or anything. You can use them like an iso. bin2iso is a bin2painintheass.

Enjoy!

bin2iso is not a pain.. iso files takes LESS space... however, you can only convert real cd images, not audio cd's..
it sucks having to use cdemu, and all those ugly things when people could just aswell use iso..

but, for audiocd's you make the app read the cd device..

people should be glad i am not in control of the earth, because then using all those butt ugly formats would be cause for execution

bin2iso is a pain because it doesn't work for lot's of different things and it's not using the files natively. As far as cdemu goes it's about the best for Bin/Cue we have thus far. Ideally would be to have a filesystem module for the Bin/Cue like iso9660 that way we could just natively mount them. I just don't think bin2iso is a realistic solution for any environment that use's bin/cue's. You can't expect everyone else to change the way they do things in a production environment just because it can't be done the same way on linux machine.

For example - my office produces hybrid music / video / interactive cd's + dvd. They archive them to bin/cue. I can't be expected to bin2iso everytime I need to retrieve a file off an archive.

BTW - Redeeman your wiki with openldap + ssl is great. Better than the gentoo howto, helped me out a lot - thanks!
