How to Convert Bin/Cue to ISO via Terminal ?

Have you downloaded a CD image (BIN format) and not able to mount it ? or even convert it to the standard format (ISO) ?

here is a quick solution:
  1. Open the "Terminal".
  2. Type "sudo apt-get install bchunk".
  3. Enter your Password.
  4. Browse to the folder where your bin/cue file is located and type:
"bchunk /path/to/example.bin /path/to/example..cue /path/to/your-new-iso-file.iso"

.....and Voila
You should get a result like this:
