"Hello my name is Izabella and now I'm going to show you how to use .bin and .cue files. The .bin file is the binary image of your CD or DVD in the computer and the .cue file enables opening it. If you'd like to know how to use it please watch further. Now I open the folder where I have the original .bin file and the .cue file as you can see. Okay now open the program Ultra ISO. Okay here's the program, you can see. And if we go to file, open and here we select the .cue file you will see the content of the .bin file listed in this window. Now you can, for example, burn a CD or a DVD with the help of this program. Now we have clicked on this burn image icon. And here we can see some options where you can select the right speed, the right method. Tape recorder and so on. And if you click on burn you can burn a CD or DVD. Now let's try this, mount to virtual drive. If you select here the .cue file and click on open and then click on mount. And when it's ready we go to start menu, to my computer, and here we can see a new virtual drive that we have just created. If you click on open you can see the content of the .bin file."
