Bug#237925: ITP: cdemu -- CD drive emulator for Linux

Severity: wishlist

Description : CD drive emulator
CDemu is a kernel module for Linux which can simulate a CD drive that
contains a CD. It uses simple cue/bin files as input for the data that
should appear on the virutal disc. It includes a user space program
which controls the kernel module. This is primarily useful for watching
an SVCD or mounting the data track of a bin/cue CD image without burning
the data to a real CD.

I always performed these tasks using a loopback device:
mount -o loop /path/to/cdimage /cdrom
Does CDemu offer any additional functionality over loopback devices?
Thanks and have a nice day!

I doubt the usual loopback mounts can handle bin/cue files.
BTW, mplayer can play SVCD directly from bin/cue files too ;-)

Yes, that was it. I just remembered viewing SVCDs directly from hard
disc :-)
Have a nice day!

bchunk is your friend to convert them to normal ISOs

[...]
I can see the mounting can be nice, I just want to add that mplayer
can directly play SVCD cue/bin and bchunk can convert cue/bin to iso,
which can be mounted with the conventional loop-driver; vcdxrip can
also be helful.

Yes, it is listed in the text above (cue/bin with various track types,
including SVCD). loopback device works only with ISO data images.
Regards,
Eduard.
