I compiled cdrdao for Mac OS X. This can burn bin/cue files very easily. The only cue/bin pair which haven't worked for me thus far had spaces and hyphens in the filename. Changing the filename and editing the cue file to reflect that solved the problem. You can download my binary from here: http://homepage.mac.com/anarkhos/.Pictures/cdrdao.tgz The command is used thusly: Insert a blank CD, tell the finder to ignore the CD and continue. type: sudo ./cdrdao write -device IOCompactDiscServices blah.cue If run as root cdrdao will use high priority threads to avoid underruns. If you have a DVD burner you would use 'IODVDServices' instead. If your CD-R isn't known (like mine wasn't) you can select a specific driver. For example this is in my .tcshrc file: alias cue sudo /Users/anarkhos/cdr/cdrdao write --device IOCompactDiscServices --driver generic-mmc thus to burn anything I just type 'cue blah.cue'
So if you lost the Cue file or deleted accidentally here we write the method to create a Cue file for a Bin file. Create a Cue File for Bin File. Create a new text file and copy/past the following text in that file. FILE “abc.bin” BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00. Where abc.bin = YourBinFileName.bin.

Creating bin/cue files and burning them to CD are a couple of steps used to create VCD's or SVCD's. These are a poor man's DVD that can be created on an older iMac or any other mac that has a CD burner but not a superdrive.
If you want to return to the split bin format you can instead pass a merged cue file with the -split parameter. This is useful for example to verify PSX split bin files against the Redump project's PSX DAT file. Users of MAME's chdman tool may also find this option useful as chdman returns the merged cue format when decompressing.

My comment should really be a separate hint.. Creating bin/cue files and burning them to CD are a couple of steps used to create VCD's or SVCD's. These are a poor man's DVD that can be created on an older iMac or any other mac that has a CD burner but not a superdrive. The CD's will then play in most home DVD players - a very cool way of sharing your movies with friends and family. Another bonus is the media is far cheaper than DVD's. The quality is also not bad! Here's what you need to create a VCD/SVCD:
Export your iMovie to Quicktime in full quality DV format
ffmpeg - a shareware application (with free demo) that let's you convert your DV quicktime movie to a bin/cue file suitable for burning a VCD/SVCD
Missing Media burner - a free ware app. that let's you burn your bin/cue file created in ffmpeg onto a CD. The alternative is to buy Toast 6.0 (I'm too cheap)
VLC is a media player you can use to test your bin/cue files before burning a disk. It's a great application - I use it in preference to quicktime for viewing movies.
Open Cue File Cd Image
These tools use open source (GPL) command line applications such as CDRDAO to do the heavy lifting. They are just a GUI to shield the user from long terminal commands with complicated syntax. After an hour of experimenting with ffmpeg and missing media burner I had burnt my 1st SVCD. I could view it on my TV using a $40 DVD player from Walmart. I'm considering writing a simple application (applescripted) that uses these GPL applications and will do the whole lot at once, with a much simpler GUI leading the user through the work process. Any suggestions for a name?

for those comfortable with X11, I'd like to mention that the OS X port of xcdroast works very well for copying/burning various CD and DVD images. it's also smart enough to put the automounter to sleep while it's running, which is a first in my experience. I normally prefer native OS X applications over unix ports. I have tried just about every burning app that one can find on VersionTracker and ended up happiest with xcdroast. A bit crude, but very effective. xcdroast for OS X: http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/xcdrosX.html A.
Themes download for mac. Another great alternative is MPEG2 Works which can be found here: http://www.tosa.2ya.com/mpegworks Tosa's managed to hook together all of the essential UNIX components in a very pleasing GUI. Best of all: It works! Barry --- ----- Honda Reflex - Riding a 60mpg scooter is your patriotic duty!
Just go to Utilities > Mount Disc Image and then point to your .bin file. Nice to have a CLI option too I guess, which is what this hint is really about.
The hint should really read /Applications/Toast 6 Titanium.app/Contents/MacOS/ToastImageMounter path_to/pc_file.bin .. unless you've already cd'ed to your applications folder.
sorry i try that hint but nothing happend ! --- Arrivée d'air chaud !
How To Create Cue File For Bin On Mac Os
I tried that too, but it didn't work. I probably had the command wrong. So if you don't like Terminal commands.. 1. Open toast 2. Choose Utilities -> mount disk image 3. Select bin file 4. It mounts!
ToastImageMounter requires sudo root to mount the disk image but it fails quietly if it isn't run with sufficient privileges. This worked for me:
