    Default CD Image burning question?

    Um...Yes
    I have a question about burning a cd (Noob question). But here's the thing. The CD image is a Bin, with a Cue file. and it also has a file that says track 2.

    Basically it looks like this.

    Breath of Fire IV (USA).Bin
    Breath of Fire IV (USA) (Track 2)
    Breath of Fire IV (USA).cue

    I was wondering How do you burn something like this, Would it just be like burning an ISO like normal or is there a certain way to do it?

    Open up the cue file, and see if it tells you what the additional track is supposed to be.

    Short of that, mount the image, and see if it behaves as expected. If so, rip or dump the 'mounted image' into a new disc image.

    Okay I tried mounting the image and it worked. Good! all I have to do now is re-rip the image into a .Iso or a .image file with roxio Thanks

    As an aside, sometimes you'll come across files in 7z/ape format:

    e.g.

    Breath of Fire IV (USA) (Track 1).7z
    Breath of Fire IV (USA) (Track 2).ape
    Breath of Fire IV (USA).cue

    Whenever you see this, use PakkISO to unpack these to .bin files (downloadable from the main site). This is often the preferred method for multi-track discs when you're looking to achieve maximum compression; audio tracks are converted from .bin to .ape (lossless) and data tracks are ECM'd before being compressed. There's a lot of phases involved but the savings can be quite astonishing.
