bchunk (BinChunker)
CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdrThe bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker program. BinChunker converts a CD image in a .bin/.cue format (sometimes .raw/.cue) into a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks. The .bin/.cue format is used by some non-UNIX CD-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD-writing programs.
Install bchunk using the following command
sudo aptitude install bchunk
This will complete the installation.
Using bchunk
bchunk syntax
bchunk [-v] [-p] [-r] [-w] [-s] <image.bin> <image.cue> <basename>
Available options
-v - Makes binchunker print some more unnecessary messages, which should not be of interest for anyone.
-w - Makes binchunker write audio tracks in WAV format.
-s - Makes binchunker swap byte order in the samples of audio tracks.
-p - Makes binchunker go into PSX mode and truncate MODE2/2352 tracks to 2336 bytes at offset 0 instead of normal 2048 bytes at offset 24.
-r - Makes binchunker output MODE2/2352 tracks in raw format, from offset 0 for 2352 bytes. Good for MPEG/VCD.
Bchunk Example
bchunk IMAGE.bin IMAGE.cue IMAGE.iso

this one is nice. there are tools available in ubuntu repo. like ISO Master. This is a graphical CD image(.iso) editor. You can use isomaster to:
- add files to an image
- extract files from an image
- delete files from an image

Is there a similar way to do this with .IMG files? For example ISO > IMG or BIN/CUE > IMG

This is an example of just how powerful the terminal is in Linux.
