CD Ripping Question
« on: February 08, 2011, 01:31:34 pm »
Anyone know why sometimes when I rip a PC CD-ROM (Either a PC Game CD or PC Software CD) with ImgBurn it will result in a .ISO file and not a Bin/Cue file?

It does this with some of my CD's, but not others, why? Is there some setting I'm missing as I usually just click the "Write to File" Icon and let it do its thing.

Or is it because that particular CD does not contain any CD Audio Tracks, just Data, so it just rips it into a .ISO file which can then be burned onto a CD later on if needed?

I thought all CD's were supposed to be Bin/Cue and DVD's were ISO's?  Am I wrong?

I haven't tried any other ripping programs though. Which other ones are the best to use?  Thanks.

There is no rule that CDs or DVDs have to be in a particular container. However, iso files cannot have more than one session. So if the disc is mixed data and audio, it can't be iso.

I'm not familiar with imgburn, but it may automatically choose iso for single session CDs, and put multi session in bin/cue. Shouldnt matter much. Most programs that read/mount images can handle both. If you really want them all bin/cue, there is probably an option somewhere in imgburn to force it.

This is true BUT.... in many cases you can just take the audio data, save it as files and the program will still figure it out. (all iso)  Like you said though, totally not worth it.  Daemon tools will open anything and you can even get a nice dektop gadget for windows.
