Convert CDI to BIN

Understanding CDI and BIN file formats

The CDI file format, also known as DiscJuggler image, is a type of disk image file used primarily for storing copies of CDs and DVDs. It was originally developed by Padus for their DiscJuggler software, which is used for duplicating and mastering optical discs. CDI files can contain a complete copy of the data on a disc, including the file system and any additional metadata.

On the other hand, the BIN file format is a binary file that is often used to store raw data from CDs and DVDs. BIN files are typically accompanied by a CUE file, which provides information about the data structure on the disc. BIN files are widely used for disc image storage and are compatible with a variety of software applications.

How to convert CDI to BIN

Converting a CDI file to a BIN file involves extracting the data from the CDI image and then re-encoding it into the BIN format. This process can be accomplished using specialized software that supports both file formats.
