What plays a .Bin/cue file?

Jay1 · 06/22/2007, 08:44 PM

Just curious what plays a .bin or .cue file? Referring to media type players.

Jay1 · 06/22/2007, 08:45 PM

Oh..for a mac.

A .cue file is a playlist. You can put it into iTunes and it will load the playlist.

A .bin file is a disk image. It's kind of like a .zip file.

Jay1 · 06/22/2007, 09:31 PM

So how do I exact the information from the .bin file?

Audax · 06/22/2007, 09:49 PM

What OS are you running? 10.4?

Jay1 · 06/22/2007, 10:08 PM

10.4.9 Tiger

Are you sure these BIN/CUE files are not disk image files?

What's the size of these files?

For the Mac, you can try these links if they are image files:

I use VLC media player to play bin and cue videos. I'm pretty sure they have a mac version.

The Bin file was suppose to be a movie. 758MB. I guess its gonna be a pain in the ass to view this file

Yes they do.

Thanks!

Yeah the bin/cue files are definitely disc images, apparently in this case DVDs.

VLC owns, but Zplayer is also good.

The .BIN / .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, Blindwrite, CloneCD, FireBurner. The .CUE file contains the track layout information, while the .BIN file holds the actual data.

Also, without the cue file, you can generally access the bin file as a standard iso image. Just change the extension.

I love VLC, if you want to preview 1 random file from a bunch of rars for a DVD iso it does that. Great stuff
