Burning BIN/CUE Images with Nero Burning Rom



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, which now is 5.5.10.0 
 

Burn a BIN without a CUE using NERO


You've downloaded a *.BIN file, but there was no *.CUE file associated and you still want to burn the *.BIN file using Nero

Burn .bin file Without A .cue file

 To burn a bin file, you will need an appropriate cue file.

You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one.
When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin. i.e both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file.

BIN & .CUE simple tutorial.



There always seems to be the question "what do I do with a .bin and .cue file" in these forums so I figured I would write a quick and simple tutorial. Please feel free to add more. 

So you have downloaded two files, one with a .bin extension and one with a .cue extension. "What do I do with these?" you ask. There are a number of options. 

BURN TO CD 

You will need either NERO, CDRWIN or FIREBURNER to burn the file. 

To burn with NERO: 
Start NERO, choose FILE, choose BURN IMAGE, locate the .cue file you have and double click it. A dialog box will come up, for anything other than music make sure you choose DISC-AT-ONCE (DAO). You can also turn off the simulation burn if you so choose. 
Then burn away. 

To burn with CDRWin: 
Start CDRWin, choose the button on the top left, choose LOAD CUESHEET, press START RECORDING. 

To burn with Fireburner: 
Start Fireburner, click on the button on the bottom left corner "VISUAL CUE BURNER/BINCHUNKER", press the right mouse button and choose LOAD TRACKS FROM .CUE and choose the correct .CUE file, press the right mouse button again and chooseselect "Burn/Test Burn", choose DISK AT ONCE (DAO), disable TEST BURN and MULTISESSION, press OK. 

.CUE ERRORS 
The most common error you will get with a .cue file is when it points to an incorrect path. This is easily fixed. Find the .bin file, copy the exact title including the .bin extension. Now find the .cue file, open the .cue file using notepad. It should look similar to this: 

FILE "name of file.bin" BINARY 
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 
INDEX 01 00:00:00 
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352 
INDEX 00 00:04:00 
INDEX 01 00:06:00 

Delete everything in the quotes, in this case we would 
delete name of file.bin. Now place the title you copied 
in between the quotes. Save the changes and close out. 
Thats it, your .cue file should work now. 

OTHER WAYS TO USE .BIN & .CUE FILES 

VCDGear: 
This program will allow you to extract MPEG streams from CD images, convert VCD files to MPEG, correct MPEG errors, and more. 

Daemon Tools: 
This program creates a virtual drive on your PC which will allow you to "mount" the .cue file and use whatever is in the .bin file without having to burn it to a cd. 

ISOBuster: 
This program will allow you to "bust" open the .bin file and extract the files within the .bin.
