.TH BCHUNK 1 "v1.2.2 14 Nov 2017" "Heikki Hannikainen"
.SH NAME
bchunk \- CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B bchunk [-v] [-p] [-r] [-w] [-s] <image.bin> <image.cue> <basename>
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B bchunk
converts a CD image in a ".bin / .cue" format (sometimes ".raw / .cue") to a
set of .iso and .cdr tracks.
.LP
The bin/cue format is used by some non-Unix cd-writing
software, but is not supported on most other cd-writing
programs.
.LP
image.bin is the raw cd image file. image.cue is the
track index file containing track types and offsets.
basename is used for the beginning part of the created
track files.
.LP
The produced .iso track contains an ISO file system, which can be
mounted through a loop device on Linux systems, or
written on a CD-R using cdrecord.
The .cdr tracks are in the native CD audio format. They can
be either written on a CD-R using cdrecord \(hyaudio, or converted
to WAV (or any other sound format for that matter) using
sox.
.LP
The output type depends on the input type (data is just copied).
If the input is in ISO format, the output will be. On the other
hand, if the input is raw audio data, the output will be CDR or
WAV (the latter if \(hyw is given).
.LP
It is advisable to edit the .cue file to either MODE2/2352/2048 or
MODE2/2352/2324 depending on whether an ISO filesystem or a VCD is
desired, respectively.
The format itself does not contain this feature and in an ambiguous
case it can only guess.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 10
.BI \-v
Makes binchunker print some more unnecessary messages, which should
not be of interest for anyone.
.TP 10
.BI \-w
Makes binchunker write audio tracks in WAV format.
.TP 10
.BI \-s
Makes binchunker swap byte order in the samples of audio tracks.
.TP 10
.BI \-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.
Use this option if input is in PSX mode.
.TP 10
.BI \-r
Makes binchunker output MODE2/2352 tracks in raw format, from offset
0 for 2352 bytes. Good for MPEG/VCD. Use this option if input is in
raw format.
.SH FILES
.LP
.TP 5
.B image.bin
Raw CD image file
.TP 5
.B image.cue
TOC (Track index, Table Of Contents) file
.TP 5
.B *.iso
Tracks in ISO9660 CD filesystem format. Can be either written on a
CD-R using cdrecord, or mounted (on Linux platforms at least)
through a loop device ('mount track.iso /mnt/cdrom \(hyo loop=/dev/loop0,blocksize=1024').
.TP 5
.B *.cdr
Audio tracks in native CD audio format. They can be either written on a
CD-R using 'cdrecord \(hyaudio', or converted to WAV (or any other sound
format for that matter) using sox ('sox track.cdr track.wav').
.TP 5
.B *.wav
Audio tracks in WAV format.
