Weird CDROM formats
So, I came across these files:
$ ls -goh -rw-r--r-- 1 526M Sep 29 12:58 file.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 478 Sep 29 12:50 file.cueDoes anyone remember cue sheets? Luckily, even today there are tools out there to make sense of these and convert them into something usable:
$ bchunk -v file.bin file.cue file.iso Reading the CUE file: Track 1: MODE1/2352 01 00:00:00 (startsect 0 ofs 0) Track 2: AUDIO 01 22:46:13 (startsect 102463 ofs 240992976) Track 3: AUDIO 01 25:25:74 (startsect 114449 ofs 269184048) Track 4: AUDIO 01 28:01:35 (startsect 126110 ofs 296610720) Track 5: AUDIO 01 31:14:31 (startsect 140581 ofs 330646512) Track 6: AUDIO 01 34:51:35 (startsect 156860 ofs 368934720) Track 7: AUDIO 01 37:51:22 (startsect 170347 ofs 400656144) Track 8: AUDIO 01 41:22:03 (startsect 186153 ofs 437831856) Track 9: AUDIO 01 44:18:34 (startsect 199384 ofs 468951168) Track 10: AUDIO 01 46:38:03 (startsect 209853 ofs 493574256) Track 11: AUDIO 01 49:12:05 (startsect 221405 ofs 520744560) Writing tracks: 1: file.iso01.iso mmc sectors 0->102462 (102463) mmc bytes 0->240992975 (240992976) sector data at 16, 2048 bytes per sector real data 209844224 bytes 200/200 MB [********************] 100 % 2: file.iso02.cdr mmc sectors 102463->114448 (11986) mmc bytes 240992976->269184047 (28191072) sector data at 0, 2352 bytes per sector real data 28191072 bytes 26/26 MB [********************] 100 % 3: file.iso03.cdr [...]In this case, we don't care for the audio part of the image, so we could discard all the
.cdr
files later on and just use the ISO
image:
$ ls -goh file.* -rw-r--r-- 1 526M Sep 29 12:58 file.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 478 Sep 29 12:50 file.cue -rw-r--r-- 1 201M Oct 31 16:01 file.iso01.iso $ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro file.iso01.iso /mnt/cdrom $ ls /mnt/cdrom AUTORUN.INF Data Install readme.txt Setup.exe SplashOh, yeah :-)
