Toast fails when using .bin files
I have finally gotten Toast, and I was under the impression that Toast could burn .bin and .cue disc images. I believe they are image files for Disc Juggler, a PC program. Toast recognizes the .bin file as a file type that Toast can use, but every time I drag the file onto Toast, the program fails. Any ideas?

There seems to be some X11 tool somewhere though.
Not true, I do it all the time.. you're not using both (all) parts of the file together are you...bin & cue?
Just ignore the cue file, drag the bin into Toast when you have selected disc image and it should work. If not try reinstalling, I have had a similar problem with burning VCD's but a fresh installation should sort it out.
Hope that helps... I tried to include a pic... but don't know how...DoH!

Wow, I don't know what I did differently this time, but after reading your post, I tried it again, and what do you know, it worked. Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the help. It is instances like this that make me so glad I went ahead and "switched". The community between Mac users is just amazing. The fact that I can get help by complete strangers online just boggles my mind. Again, thanks a lot.

That might work for VCDs, but not for data CDs.

What I get when I Toast a .bin file is a disc image a 1:1 copy, or as near as damn it of the original disc. It's like an ISO.
I don't use Toast for VCD's, I just noted that I had some trouble with VCD's initially - but then I was only testing the software. I do burn .bin files with Toast
That was at least the case in December 2002.

Are you using Toast 5.2? (I don't know when it was updated - or if bin files burned before). 'Cos we're talking about the same thing...and yes Toast does burn 'em. If you don't believe me read the guy who asked the question:

Ignore the .cue file, drag the bin file into Toast ( whilst in disc image mode) and it will burn. If it's faulty/incomplete or just plain bad Toast will tell you before you burn. Good luck

i just burned a data CD in .bin format that was created on a PC and had a .cue file. it worked perfectly. it's a PC disk to boot.
