Mount .CDR File

  • 772

I have a CD image which is in .cdr format. (Please note, it's not the same as a Corel Draw image - which also uses the .CDR extension).

Is there any way to open it on Ubuntu? I don't have a local CD drive - I just want to extract the contents to my HDD.

It won't open with Brasero, I can't mount it, nor extract it from the file manager.

Is there any way to convert it to a standard ISO?

mount

  1. Test this:

    Given that Gnu/Linux has losetup which you can use to attach a file to the system as a block device.

    You may be able to mount the image.cdr, with the following command:

    sudo losetup /dev/loop0 image.cdr

    Now you can use the image like a real cd.

  2. CDR could be RAW Audio CD. Import it into Audacity via File -> Import -> Raw Data and setup appropriate settings.

    Well, I found one way to do it.

    The disc was, apparently, an audio recording. By using avconv / ffmpeg, I was able to extract the raw contents.

    avconv -i image.cdr

    Tells me the codec etc. Then, to extract:

    avconv -i image.cdr -acodec copy output.mkv
