bchunk vs Folder2ISO

bchunk is a free command-line utility that converts CD images and tracks. It accepts a .bin image, a .cue index containing track types and offsets, and an output basename. BIN/CUE and RAW/CUE inputs can produce ISO or CDR output. The -w option writes audio tracks as WAV files, while -s changes the byte order of audio samples. For MODE2/2352 tracks, -p handles PlayStation mode by outputting 2336 bytes from offset 0; -r writes raw 2352-byte data from offset 0. The README identifies the program as binchunker version 1.2.2 and describes compiling with make and installing with make install. Its changelog records fixes for a heap-based buffer overflow and a null access violation and crash caused by malformed CUE files. bchunk runs on Linux and macOS, is released under the GNU GPL version 2 or later, and has no GitHub releases listed.

Folder2ISO is a free, portable standalone tool for making an ISO image from a folder. It supports ISO 9660, ISO 9660 with UDF 1.02, UDF 1.02, and UDF 2.50. It can detect directory types and produce compatible DVD, BD, and UHD ISO images. GUI downloads are listed for Windows x64, x86, and ARM64, as well as macOS; command-line downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Windows, the site lists support for x86, x64, and ARM64 versions from Windows XP through Windows 11. The command-line interface takes a source folder and target ISO file, with switches for filesystem format and volume label. Windows shell context-menu integration is also listed, and the software is translated into more than nine languages. Version 1.5, dated 2025-10-05, improves preservation of file and folder creation and modification dates. Folder2ISO creates images but does not burn discs, edit images, or convert images. Its license permits noncommercial use and distribution; commercial use or distribution requires the author's permission.
