Converting Bin/Cue to ISO on a Mac

Sunday, June 21st, 2009


I had downloaded some CD images that unfortunately were in the Bin/Cue format, not sure why anyone still uses that, but hey. Anyway, I had a need to use these in a VMWare setup, now yes I could have gone through and burned each of these to a CD and used that, but that uses valuable CD media, takes time and also makes the install slower. VMWare supports mounting ISO files for install, but not Bin files, so I went on a hunt to convert these files, using my mac.

After a quick Google search I found the excellent BChunk utility by Collin Allen, if you need to convert a Bin/Cue file to ISO, this does it from the OSX terminal, quickly and easily. There is a port of the Red Hat version of this tool.
