archaic0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use ImgBurn to backup all my software media (CDs and DVDs). I haven't put my finger on why it acts this way yet, but sometimes when I choose to create an image file it defaults to a BIN file and other times an ISO. I can change it of course, but I always want ISO files, never BIN files. I wondered why it changes back and forth (something with the original disc structure maybe?) and if I could force it to always use ISO files and never BIN files? Thanks in advance!

mmalves Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The ISO format has a few limitations that the CUE/BIN format doesn't have (multiple tracks for example), so when ISO doesn't fit the job CUE/BIN is used. Provided that you're not going to use these images with other jurassic programs, pretty much everything supports CUE/BIN images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ISO is for Mode 1 / 2048 files. BIN (with an accompanying CUE) is for everything else. That's the way it's supposed to be (standards are standards for a reason!) and you shouldn't override it because you have some strange concept in your head that all your images should be ISO's.
