Thanks... it has been useful to me!

2. Topher at 11:16pm on April 22, 2006

Hmm... The .cue file links you to an .img file, therefore If your CD burning app can't find it...

1. rename your .cue file with a ".txt" extension instead.
2. open it - and replace the link in ".img" with ".bin" - make sure the file name is exactly the same as the original.
3. save, close and change the ".txt" extension back to ".cue".

Burn it again ! :)

Hey Jesse,

I think that was you who wrote that very clear rundown of how to get around Windows Clone CD image files. Thanks!
    Your Firestarter FX circumvention worked great for my imac, but before I proceed to drag-and-drop these bin-cue's into firestarter fx (or alternately Toast 7.0.2, i think), i wanted  to know what i should do with the accompanying .ccd and .sub data files. I know they aren't the images, but word is they are necessary to some degree. i figured if they were all together, they should be burned to the same place together too, no? Let me know what i should do with them. Thanks again, and great webpage!

Tom

Good question, Tom. I'm no expert in this domain, but from what I understand, they contain some extra information used to burn the CD in Clone CD. They don't seem to be totally necessary for getting the CD burnt and functional. So, I guess, you can ignore them. I might be wrong though, and if you find out more, please let me know.

5. mike at 6:43pm on June 19, 2006

what about if there is not .cue file?  i only have a .ccd, .img, and .sub files...i can't burn anything unless i have a .cue file according to firestarter

6. Bearwil at 9:49am on July 6, 2006

I just found a new proggie on the web that handles .CUE files in combination with .WAV perfectly. I just tried it on an audio file that was fragmented with CloneCD and the result was fine. The best thing: it's freeware. Here's what they say about it:
This is an utility for batch extraction of individual tracks from .CUE/.WAV audio disk images, which for instance, are created by Exact Audio Copy software.
While PC users still have other methods of playing tracks from CUE files (by e.g. using Foobar2000 player, or mounting an image via Daemon Tools), Mac OS X users' choice is quite obscure, so therefore this utility comes.

Here's where you can download it:

Enjoy!

NICE WORK! It's works well with Toast.

I would like to second this question, do I need a .cue file?  What do I do with just .ccd, .img, and .sub files?

I would also like an answer ... anyone?

oops, sorry thats a windows prog. The top one was Mac, and my search was for burn ccd mac. Confusing.

12. Larry at 10:16am on July 28, 2006

I was wondering what the sub-channel data really does for a
data format disc; or rather, what happens when you try to burn
an img file and omit the sub file.  I tried one using Toast and
it failed during burn with an under-run, but that could have been
for some other reason.  Is sub-channel data optional for a data
disc as opposed to an audio disc?  Larry.

13. Larry at 11:16pm on July 28, 2006

OK, I tried again using Toast 6.1.1 and it worked fine ...
one should terminate other programs, energy savers, etc.
before burning any recordable media.  I say we do not
need to use the .sub file when burning a data CD-ROM,
I only used the img file; Larry.

14. Alez at 11:23pm on July 31, 2006

mmm.... If the .img file is created with CLONECD in windows... the .SUB file is very important if you backup game cd's (psx) and .CCD indicate togeter with .SUB the SUBchannel with important info about the .img like copy protection script..

bye

15. Mat at 12:37pm on August 3, 2006

I would like to know if I can just extract the information (for example, a movie) of a .cue/.bin pair files without burning it on a cd/dvd?

Thank you

16. MM at 7:21pm on August 18, 2006

I´d like to burn a CloneCD image with OSX. The two files are .000  and  .dvd (4KB).
How can I burn them on a DL DVD?

17. JB Jones at 5:30am on August 20, 2006

I have to burn those same files also. .000 and .dvd files on DL. Anyone know? guess its time to make some coasters. ouch.

18. Indigo at 5:21pm on August 23, 2006

I have the same problem with .000 and .dvd files and DL.
Any ideas how to write these?

19. Dude at 9:31pm on August 24, 2006

Solution:  Run Boot Camp

20. MM at 4:23pm on August 25, 2006

Solution: Dude buy me an Intel-Mac

21. Dude hater at 3:33pm on October 2, 2006

Yeah dude, buy me one too.

22. amit elek at 8:42pm on October 21, 2006

bootcamp will not work either.
dual-layer images are over 5 gb, and fat32 can only read files of under 3-4 gb size.

the only way to burn dual-layer is to use ntfs. and if u partition your hd in ntfs in bootcamp, your mac partition will not be able to read the ntfs partition, so you won't be able to move the files u got to the bootcamp.

Have any of you tried live run linux for burning your illegal copies of games? http://knoppix.ru/

24. clairewb at 2:59am on December 1, 2006

I was wondering how to burn a downloaded DVD rip (from a torrent) site to a DVD R.  I have OS 10.4 and the files came in .cue and .bin files.  any help would be great!

25. Dimitris at 3:46am on March 19, 2007

Hi guys,

I only have CCD/.IMG/.SUB but no CUE file, anybody managed to burn with Firestarter FX or any other way??

Thanks

27. George at 7:23pm on June 5, 2007

the trick works on the image disc psx games?

28. Finnboghi at 7:00am on June 27, 2007

"mmm.... If the .img file is created with CLONECD in windows... the .SUB file is very important if you backup game cd's (psx) and .CCD indicate togeter with .SUB the SUBchannel with important info about the .img like copy protection script.."

So...  Does this mean it's not possible to burn/mount files that have been ripped as .ccd/.sub/.img?

Cheers,
-Finn

29. gh at 9:25pm on July 17, 2007

"I only have CCD/.IMG/.SUB but no CUE file, anybody managed to burn with Firestarter FX or any other way??"

I also need to know how to do this, but nobody here has been able to answer this question asked by 4 people already... is it not possible?

30. Dimitrios Laskaris at 12:53am on July 19, 2007

5 people you may say - I've been having the same problem with ccd/img/sub files, and I just found the solution. I tried literally all mac methods suggested on the internet since 2001 and only one of them worked. The answer is simple: Get commercial software Roxio Toast Titatnium, one way or another. Apparently Toast it is the only mac software capable of mounting and burning .img files. Once you've got this software, start it, click on the "copy" tag and drag the .img file onto it (ignore .ccd and .sub). Click on the copy button (red button on the lower right corner) and that's it, you've got yourself a CD. This worked for me on an ibook G4 running OS X.4.

31. Brian at 9:30pm on August 22, 2007

"I only have CCD/.IMG/.SUB but no CUE file, anybody managed to burn with Firestarter FX or any other way??"

Solution!

1. Download free Burn application (http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/).

2. Rename your x.IMG file to x.BIN

3. Create a plain text file and paste this:

FILE "x.BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

Replace x.BIN with the-name-of-your-bin-file.BIN

4. Save this in the same directory as your .BIN file.

5. Change the extension of this text file from .txt to .cue

6. Open the .cue in the Copy tab of Burn.app

7. Press Burn.

32. JP at 6:48pm on August 24, 2007

This works.

1. Change .img to .bin
2. Mount .bin using Toast - Utilities, Mount Disc Image [you will told Toast could not verify the format.....CLICK CONTINUE, You will then see a window telling you about postgap/pregap, do not enter any values - simply click OK]
3. Open Apples Disk Utility and you will see you disk mounted.
4. Select your disc - the disc to select is the lower of the disc you wish to convert.
5. If all has gone to plan - you will see a window asking you to save as - disk6s0
6. Save disc - Disk Utility will produce a dmg file.
7. Eject .bin using Disk Utility
8. Using toast, locate disk6s0.dmg [or the name you have given your .dmg]
9. In toast - go to COPY [two cd disks], click Image File button- top left of window and select image file
10. Select dmg, next 2 steps - CONTINUE and OK
11. Toast - Save as disk

33. jconstan at 12:22am on September 22, 2007

Another solution: use the *nix utility 'ccd2iso' to convert it to an ISO disk image. This utility is available via DarwinPorts. It took me about 20 seconds to convert a full CD from cloneCD format to ISO.

34. akash Kaul at 7:06pm on September 27, 2007

hey JP .. what if i want to mount it instead of burning it ?

35. akash Kaul at 7:07pm on September 27, 2007

oh i ment brian .. sorry

36. 8475647476574 at 9:19pm on September 30, 2007

@ akash Kaul

If you just want to mount the image file, simply use Toast 7 or 8, choose "Copy" (not "Data"), choose "Image-Files" and either drag xyz.img onto Toast and click "Mount" or rename the file to xyz.dmg, drag this onto Toast and click "Mount". Toast will mount both xyz.img and xyz.dmg, but only the mounted .dmg will burn a readable CD and only this can be seen as a disk in disk utility. But you can access the contents and drag them to your harddisk from both.

37. osxppc at 8:12pm on November 16, 2007

jconstan, you are a genious!

MacPorts also has ccd2iso.

just typed this in the terminal (you must have installed MacPorts first to have the port command)

sudo port install ccd2iso  # to install ccd2iso
ccd2iso image.img mycd.iso  # to convert the img to iso

39. wad11656 at 10:59pm on February 3, 2008

Amazing info.!! I probably would have been totally lost and would never have been able to burn .cue files without this little guide...THANKS A TON!!

40. mark at 2:10pm on March 12, 2008

yeah, thanks a lot for all this info, it has been very useful

41. Eric at 5:31am on April 15, 2008

Hi Jesse,
I want to thank you very much.
I have been scouring the web for hours now trying to find out how to open/mount an .img file in Mac OS X. The above explained it very clearly!
Thanks again.

42. xtfer at 4:23pm on April 20, 2008

Great stuff guys, thanks!

43. Minimal I at 7:54am on April 25, 2008

Its Very Simple.... Use UltraIso, If U have Windows Partition on Ur MAC.... 

UltraIso 9.1.2 Build 2465 :

44. nesguep at 6:43pm on April 25, 2008
