Creating and mounting iso images (CD image files) under linux (dd)

Image files with the bin/cue ending, however, are not iso files. You can convert them into iso files with bchunk  . bchunk needs the cue file to do this! Allthough some non-Linux burning applications (e.g. Toast Titanium for MacOS) can handle (burn and convert) the bin file without the cue file.
