generate .cue files? or another method?

MADcow

i have a bunch of cd's sitting on my harddisk... only one problem: they are in .bin/.cue format, and the .cue's seem to have gone missing.
my ultimate goal is to mount them somewhere on my filesystem (either using -o loop, or using cdemu)...
and no, they aren't (s)vcd's, so i can't just play them with mplayer...
any ideas on how i can mount/burn them without the .cue's, or generate .cue's for them?
thanks

if they have only one track, then you could try something like this:

http://users.andara.com/~doiron/bin2iso/ may be of help, I believe there's an example of reconstructing the cue from a bin file using bin2iso.

its easy:

1.
get the mpg file from bin:
vcdxrip -b video.bin

2.
create cue file:
vcdimager -t CD-FORMAT avseq1.mpg

thanks for the help guys. i was able to secure the .cue's...
one other problem though; i'm using cdemu to mount them, which worked fine, until i got home today...
when i try to mount them now, the entire computer freezes. so bad that the cursor in my VT stops blinking; it just disappears.
i'm doing this:

someone's god hates me.
the first cd went fine. it converted from bin to iso just fine. then mounted fine with mount -o loop. it works.

the other two though:

AHH !! was just waiting for a topic like this to come up !!

Well.. its clear on hotto mount images having bin,cue,iso exts !! BUTTT !!

How do i mount images made by apps like Nero (.nrg) and CloneCD (.ccd) ???? any bright ideas ? cuz it'll take much more than just ideas !

ALSO !! there goes the mounting part of pre-existing images... now HOW DO I MAKE ISO IMAGES out of a cd in Linux ?????

i just wanna make iso images ! plain iso..

ALSO, while copying MOVIE cd's tomy hdd... i always get a io error ! no matter what i cannot copy the avseq01.dat file....

Though i can copy all the other files on the cd !! (they are useless though)...

Also, if i have only the .dat file on the cd.. ie it is written in plain data format.. then i can very well copy it.. but not when its burned as a vcd !

WHATS HAPPENING GUYS ??? is there any kinda protection put up in linux ??

and the worst part is i culdnt find out any Clonecd kinda apps for linux ! not even something remotely close !

Please help me !! as this makes me boot into windows very frequently. which i absolutely dont like !!

Bye,
Jassi

Most utilites are based around the use of iso, so it's usually safest when you have an iso to play with. (This may have changed, please let me know if native support is now available)

need to use .bin/.cue emerge bin2iso or bchunk
need to use .nrg emerge nrg2iso
need to use .ccd/.img/.sub sorry may need to use windows clonecd... don't know of a port.

HEY.. thanks guys !

i finally understood why i culdnt copy my movie cd's.. cuz they were burnt in mode 2.. they were multimode cd's ! hmm..

so i guess the dd if,of method wont work here..

but i have a doubt.. if i copy it using the cdrdao --readcd thingy.. then will it be made into a standard iso format ?? i know its gonna be in RAW but. then how do i mount it in linux ? is raw mode iso mounting possible ? is there any tool like cdemu that makes this thing possible ?

another thing that i'd like to point out is that if ur image is in the clonecd format. then there is an option to completely ignore the .sub and .ccd files and instead use a .cue file as .cue makes the .img format similar to .iso !

if thats not working still.. u can always use the isobuster in wine.. it works fine, i've been using it my self !

Well.. i really think there is a serious need of a utility like daemin tools in linux that can handle emulation of all image formats in linux !! also if its not natively suopported in linux !

Linux supports ALMOST all the fs'es out there so why cant it handle the cdfs'es ?? eh...

anyways, as i get more cool solutions i'll keep this thread updated !

fireburner has a version for linux that will read and convert ccd
now you dont need windows at all! ditch that bloated pos and put something useful there!

jassi: mkisofs is included in the package CDR tools. i just use that.

Jazz · Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2003 10:15 pm Post subject:

Hi..

i've used mkisofs too.. but only while making multibootable cd's and stuff..

www.911cd.net/forums (A very good place to be if interested in making bootable cd's)

I'm a silver member there

Cud u please tell me for what purpose do u use mkisofs Madcow ?? like is it while making images ? or doin something to them after that..

abarett.. fireburner might be good.. but look at isobuster !! i mean almost all the cd fs format is there.. u can do almost anything ... i just culdnt get it to recognize my cdrom !! i hope u get what i mean !

Like it can open my images on my hdd.. but it cant read directly from my cdrom mounted at /mnt/cdrom how do i do that ? that cud solve many things as then i wuldnt have to make images.. :twisted:

Anyways.. let the ideas coming guys !

Bye,
Jassi

i use mkisofs to take a collection of files and make them into iso9660 format

what we need is a daemon-tools (Sorry couldn't find official homepage) for linux.

That would eliminate the need for winex cd protection schemes aswell.

Jazz · Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2003 2:49 am Post subject:

Yea.. absolutely correct !

there is no app of the daemon-tools caliber for linux !! it supports almost all the cd formats out there... is there even no way that we can emulate this in Wine ?? using some hacked libraries or anything ? if wine can do Nero.. then why not daemon-tools ??

Is there any project gonna be based on this app for linux ??

Hmm... i got a pdi2iso converter.. get it here :- http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=46206

maybe it'll help somebody..

EDIT :- Guys u must see this.. images in linux dont work very well in windows... http://www.daemon-tools.cc/portal/viewtopic.php?t=1237&highlight=linux

BUMP !!

Does new wine do anything abt this ?? cuz on the daemon tools forum, i read somewhere that maybe wine can support it !
