Easy CD question

[sirius]

In the past, Ive never managed to do this properly......so rather than waste another set of CD's I thought Id ask you guys .

I have some .nrg files, some .bin/.cue files some .iso files etc on the hard disk....but I would like to put them on CD. These are the 'image files' I gather (from my Backup copies of legitimate software ofcourse).

In the past Ive only managed to make a CD with the image on, just like a data CD, which isnt the point I dont think is it?. Its supposed to read like the original right? Expanded.

How do you do this?. Im using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 and also the built in XP software. I like the roxio interface and detest nero, just thought Id add that before anyone says 'get nero' or whatever lol.

Ive got Winiso freeware to read the files and extract them like I usually do, but I was wondering just how you burn a CD without having to extract all the gumph first and make a data CD.


Cheers

Sirius.

nrg files are nero image files mate so burning them with anything other than nero wont work

for bin files you need a cue to go with them and all you do is select in the software burn image to disc and load the cue file up and it does the rest for you.....make sure the bin & the cue are in the same directory though or it wont work

iso's burn straight to the disc as well

dunno about roxio and whether it handles cue files though, if you dont like nero try cdrwin out www.goldenhawk.com

cheers andy. Love the new sig

I think Ive sussed it. In WinIso I can convert .nrg to iso and bin to iso and also .img to iso. Ive just done that, it only takes two seconds for some of them and the Roxio CD copier seems to be doing the trick.

I hope the CD's work though, lol.

Cheerio
