Convert CCD to BIN

Understanding CCD and BIN file formats

The CCD file format, short for CloneCD Control File, is used by the CloneCD software to store information about a CD or DVD disc image. It is often accompanied by an IMG file that contains the actual data and a SUB file that contains subchannel data. The CCD file itself does not contain any data but serves as a descriptor for the disc image.

The BIN file format, on the other hand, is a binary file that contains the raw data of a CD or DVD disc image. It is often used in conjunction with a CUE file, which describes the layout of the data within the BIN file. BIN files are widely supported by various software applications and are commonly used for disc image storage and distribution.

How to convert CCD to BIN

Converting a CCD file to a BIN file involves extracting the data from the CCD's associated IMG file and creating a new BIN file. This process can be accomplished using specialized software that supports both file formats.
