What are BIN, CUE, and ISO files?

  • Written by soulxtc

What sets the BIN/CUE file format apart from an ISO file format is that it has a CUE file, which is a "table of contents" that tells the burning program how the data, or BIN, is laid out. The BIN file is the actual data. An ISO image file is a duplicate copy of a complete CD or DVD disk saved in the "ISO-9660 format."

 

With this in mind I’ll list a few of the programs available out there that will allow you to burn those BIN, CUE, and ISO files that you’ve downloaded. For further info on how to use either the basic or advanced features of these programs, click on the corresponding link which will take you to that programs link in the guide section.

 

The first program is called Fireburner from IgD Software, It’s a fairly basic program, but not particularly geared to the novice as it entails loading and unloading of track cuesheets. It’s not that hard, but not as easy as the drag and drop ease of perfection offerred by the next program DVD Decrypter.

 

The second program, and personal favorite of mine, is DVD Decrypter . I like it because of all the other advanced features it offers like writing ISO’s and it’s easy drag and drop functionality. For the novice, all you have to do is take the "BIN" file, drop it into the program, select the drive and burn, burn, burn. It’s that easy.
