How can I convert an iso cd image to bin/cue format on a mac?

Question

How can I convert an iso cd image to bin/cue format on a mac? I did some Googling, but couldn't find a solution, ended up having to use some freeware tool for windows in a VM :/

Solution 1

PowerISO has a Mac command line utility for converting between ISO, BIN, DAA, and other formats.

http://www.poweriso.com/poweriso-1.3-osx.tar.gz

poweriso convert input.img -o output.bin -ot bin

Solution 2

LiquidCD can write CUE/BIN files. The process would be the same as actually creating an image from the disc.

• Mount ISO image on the Mac
• Point LiquidCD to the Mounted Image
• Write CUE/BIN File

I did this before to convert an ISO to a DMG.

As of this edit, April 14, 2020, the domain for LiquidCD, maconnect.ch, simply returns a :-) and no other content.

Toast Titanium will do it, but its by no means free.

There's a handy little command line tool to do BIN/CUE -> ISO, but I can't find one to do the reverse.

If anyone found this post because they were trying to do the reverse (convert bin/cue to an iso) take a look here: jamesnsears.com/2007/04/convert_bin_cue_iso_on_mac_osx.php Worked for me. You can download bchunk and run "bchunk problemimage.bin problemimage.cue convertedimage.iso"

The iso image I'm converting also contains some CD audio tracks. Will they be converted as well with this method?

You will have to test and try, I am not sure. LiquidCD however does support extracting Music so it might be able to. I hardly ever deal with Audo CD's

+1 ...that's what I was trying to do. Works great.

I've been trying to rip some PS1 games to play in emulators for ages now, and this is the only program I could find that made working BIN/CUE images out of the ISOs I ripped with Disk Utility.

That's not what he's asking

Sadly, that link is for a 32-bit executable and won’t run in Catalina and beyond.
