hey....
i didn't know where to post my question , so i put it here..
my question is this : say i downloaded a CD Image from the web.
besides its suffix (iso , bin etc.) how can i tell what kind of an image is it ? is it really an .iso ? is it a .bin ??...
thanks !!:rolleyes:
Mount the iso/bin on a virtual drive or use isobuster to determine the contents. If isobuster won't open it, its not an image.
i hope i'm not confusing....
iso buster opens the file....it is defenetly an image.
but what program created it ?...
if i understand correctly there is a difference between an ISO image and a BIN image.....
how can i tell what kind of an image is the one i downloaded ?
Why do you need to know what program created the image?
Since Nero can burn bins or isos, why is it important to know which you have got?
well....BINs come with .cue files....and that changes evrything...
once i couldn't burn a bin because it was 747MB , but when i used the cue file nero recognized the file as a 697MB and burned it ..
Ummm without putting too finer point on it, the only bins I know you can download without cues are ones that would break this forum rules.
Thats exactly what i was thinking
is that your way of telling me that you don't know how to help me?....
this is a great forum, and i don't want to break no forum rules,
so if there is no way to distinguish between an iso to a bin file..
then never mind.
thanks anyway..:sad:
It's not a question of my knowledge... it is a question of what you are downloading. I was trying to be polite.Quote:

I lost a cue file once. All i had to do is find another one, open it with notepad, rename the .bin reference, rename the .cue file, and resave it.
other image formats? is that what you're asking for? there's ccd (but i think you'd have more than one file), nrg, img, and others.
