.bin and .iso to cd

[MrSaxMan99]

I'm curious how to burn bin and iso files to cd. Any special settings in nero to use or outside apps I need?

Thanks

Look for an option to burn "image" to CD. I know Roxio and Nero will do it.

LOL, hey, maybe he's just making a back-up of an installation cd. I do it for important ones.

actually it's a free distribute software cd for one of my classes next semester, but thanks for the link, great reading!

It's a bait link. If they go "OMFG WTF U R TEH SUX, I R TEH LEET" then you know they're pirating like mad.

If you have the original, just do a clone. If you have images only, Nero-File-Burn Image-point to BIN or ISO.

Okay so I just found out that it's a .bin file. Can this be burned right in nero? I can't seem to get it to work. When I drag it over to the open project, shouldn't it show all the files, not just the one bin?

Thanks in advance for the help

You can't do it like that. As M4H said, you'll need to go under File --> Burn Image, and select the BIN or ISO file. Nero should immediately bring up the burn dialog box if you did it correctly.

When I go to burn image, the only formats that show up as supported are .iso, .cue, and .nrg

When I click on all files and try and open the .bin, it says "unexpected file format"

All BIN files should have an associated CUE file with them. The CUE file is small but contains the information regarding the BIN file and tells Nero the BIN file to burn.

You need to point to the CUE file in Nero, not the BIN file.

Also, my "burn image" isn't under "file", it's under "recorder".

How about using ISOBuster to extract the files and then burning?

is it simple as burning the iso file to cd or it has to extracted or spawned in order to burn.

I have a bunch of Linux distros that i want to archive and in the future install.
