    Hi praetor!

    I've already told u about my problem on irc (#ad_buddies)... The problem is still the same. Maybe U can help me one more time... ;-)

    Problem is :

    - when I burn images files to cd with fireburner or cdrwin or alcohol120, everything seems to work but I always get blank cd in windoze...

    - there is something written on the cd 'cause a track appears when I open the cd with isobuster but I can't browse the track.

    - my .bin & .cue files are correct 'cause I can browse the complete track with cdmage...

    Can u tell me how to solve this problem ?

    Thx a lot in advance !

    Gaut.

    Read the title of this thread: BIN / .CUE / .ISO Frequently asked questions. READ1ST If you have a question about PS2s perhaps you might want to check out the PS2 section or post it under the main CDR section. If you hvant picked up on it yet, BIN / .CUE / .ISO Frequently asked questions. READ1ST is for general questions and answers on BINs, CUE and other FAQ. Consider yourself warned.

    1. Dude... I answer so many questions i can barly remember my own name. Thx for leaving the info (and saving me the typing time)
    2. Try this
    - Make cure AGAIN, that you are actually burning, rather than SIMULATING
    - After you burn, does Nero say the disc is empty? (goto Recorder --> Disc Info)
    - Make sure you are burning on the optical drive (and not using the Image Recorder, to check goto Recorder --> Choose Recorder and select the one that isnt Image Recorder)
    - I assume you have cheked the BIN files are not corrupt? (Open them in CDMage, Actions --> Scan for Corruption)
    - I think http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324129 has something there about burning and then seeing nothing on the CD.
    - Do the CDs read on another drive?

    Quote...Preator: "To convert a wierd cd image file format to a more familiar format (i.e., ISO, BIN/CUE), open up WinISO goto the Convert menu and sleect the "Other Image Format" option. Select the source file (the werid cd image file) and give it a final name. WinISO will convert the image to a ISO for you. If you prefer a BIN then when this is done, goto the Convert menu and select ISO to BIN and repeat the same.

    To convert a wierd cd image file format to a more familiar format (i.e., BIN/CUE), open up CDMage, drag-and-drop the wierd file into it. It will pop-up a box for you to specify the format; simple trial and error will resolve this minor hurdle. Now when that is done, File --> Save As. Give it a name and it will save the BIN/CUE for ya."


    so don't i need to use WinISO to convert my cd/dvd into an iso and then into a bin file?

    so i can use cd mage to convert a cd into an iso and then into a bin file? ive read the manuals but theres nothing on converting..
    (i said that winiso can only do 100megs cuz of trial version and you told me to use cd mage but i don't think I can)

    No you cant use CDMage to "convert a cd/dvd to bin/iso" ... this process is called "ripping/extracting" and is completely different for CDs compared to DVDs. For CDs, see the above quote, for DVDs... it depends on the type of DVD.

    CDMage is an image handling tool... only for when you have images already.

    i made an image out of a dvd with alcohol 120% and it came up with two files. A ".mds" and a ".mdf" file. (it was the only option that i could convert the dvd to) Is it possible to convert them to a files such as bin or cue?
    When i had the .mds and mdf files, i tried to burn them with alcohol 120% but when i tried to the burn image, i couldn't select a burn driver. Whats wrong?

    p.s. i have a dvd rom and a cdrw burner

    Ok. An FYI for those who need it. I had trouble creating a .cue file in winxp as it makes it a .txt file. I found the easiest way to create a new one is to make a copy of an old one, open it, change the XXXX.bin, and then rename the file. oh, And DO NOT SAVE AS>_X_X_X_X_X_[small]Rog

    Doesnt always work because different images vary with Mode and Sector sizes and you gotta have the right one matched with the image.

    You can create CUE files for BIN images by first drag-and-dropping the BIN file onto CDMage. It will popup a dialog box asking you to specify the interpretation format. Trial and error will get one to to successfully open the image. Once it is opened, File --> Save As and give it a new name. CDMage will resave the BIN file but now also include a CUE file to go with it.

    true, but i'm telling this for other people like me , who don't need or want any more programs than needed. I have Nero, i have clonecd, and i have alcohol120. it's easy enough to copy one. just change the needed perameters.

    Kinda wrong ;-) I dont think that the avg person who doesnt want any more programs might know that (S)VCDs are supposed to be Mode2/2352 nor when to chose Mode1/2352 vs Mode 1/2048 or Mode 2/2352 for DataCDs :)

    I have a BIN/CUE file for a psx game that I want to play without having to burn it. I tried mounting the CUE file into a virtual drive using daemon tools but that just showed me the files as if I tried to explore the cd. Do I need an emulator of some sort? Or am I just doing something wrong? Sorry for my noobness :p! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    1. We (well at I do), try to give people the benifit of a doubt and actively and proactively help them as much as I am able to.
    2. WindowsXP is by far, not easy to use -- well. The operating system goes a long distance in terms of user friendlyness but lacks greatly on functionality. Too bad users want both functionality and user-friendlyness. Also, not everyone has WindowsXP
    3. I would love for you to explain to me how the average user might even know about mode types and sector sizs. If they were to follow your advice for what it is, there are many cases to which they would get incompatible CUE files.
    4. It never hurts to answer someones honest questions.

    I would imagine you need an emulator. You could also check the playstation people out as they would be far more knowledgable than I, http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/50

    ok ummm... i hav burned the .bin/.cue files using nero and i now i hav both cds required for the game (max payne 2) however once the installation goes through about half way, an error message pops up, saying that there was an error transfering the data2.cab file... is there something wrong with the .bin file or did i do something wrong burning the disk?

    in another game (medal of honor: allied assault) the same error message pops after changing the disk during installation...
