armyofquad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I like to keep things simple, and be consistent, so I ALWAYS rip to .iso. Iso is my file type of choice for images of dvds and cds. I recently updated imgburn, and am wondering if this has something to do with the latest, it tries to force me to rip my cd to .bin. But I don't want a bin, I want an iso, like every other damn file I've been ripping. When I select iso, the thing gets all yoda on me and says I was trying to fool it, but it can't make an iso, and instead will make a bin. I don't want a damn bin, I want a damn iso. Iso is a valid format for an image of a disc, so why in the hell is your program suddenly so unable to create one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The ISO format has many limitations, and if ImgBurn says BIN should be used then you better believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyofquad Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Iso meets my needs just fine. Why can't it rip an iso suddenly? I want to rip an iso from my CD, which used to be a simple thing. I'm not looking for more people to tell me to use bin, I want someone to fix my thing to rip an iso.

Excuse me for wanting to know why I can't create a standard type of CD image from my CD. I thought it was a simple question. But I guess since I don't know everything there is to know about every image format and every detail of the specifications of the redbook CD, that makes me stupid. Grow up, asshole!

Cynthia Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Did you get a .cue file also with the .bin file? Post a log of the reading operation and it should be clearer why it's selecting .bin as default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Multi track / session or Mode 2 Form 2. Neither of those can be represented by an ISO file. Think of this as a learning experience for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger584 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 To summarize, the only way to back up an audio CD is to copy it (read to .bin / write from .bin) or to store it in the proprietary format .bin? Does anyone know of alternatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 BIN isn't a proprietary format as it can be read by most burning/mounting programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, BIN and CUE is pretty much the 2nd most common image file type used for CD images. The 1st is of course ISO but that's designed for single track/session Mode 1 data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
