2.1.1 Reading from a file containing a CD disk image
----------------------------------------------------
The option '--bin-file', '--cue-file' or '--toc-file' (the short forms
for the first two are these are '-b' and '-c' respectively) indicate to
read from a file containing an image what might be burned onto Compact
Disc. The format is expected to be in the BIN/CUE format is is accepted
by many CD mastering tools.
If you use the '--bin-file' option, the file read is expected to be
the ".BIN" part--this is the bulk of the data. If you use '--cue-file'
the file read is a "cue sheet" a funny sort of CD mastering file. The
corresponding BIN file (which again contains the bulk of the data) is
not taken from the FILE statement inside the CUE file, but it is
constructed from the CUE file name by replacing ".cue" by ".bin". The
CUE file must have exactly one FILE statement.
If you do not specify a file name after '--bin-file', a default name
is used "videocd.bin" is probably used; likewise if you do not specify a
filename after -cue-file a default name is used, probably "videocd.cue."
These names I believe are the default output file names used when you
use 'vcdimager' or 'vcdxbuild'.
If you use the '--toc-file' option, the file read is expected to be a
CD-ROM disk image using for the format 'cdrdao' uses.
If you use the '--nrg-file' option (short form '-N'), the file read
is expected to be a CD-ROM disk image using a proprietary and
unpublished format used by the Nero burning software. Because this is
proprietary and not published, this code has been reverse engineered and
we really can't do as good a job as we can with a cue-sheet file. It's
better not to work with such things when possible.
