1. 	Put the CD in the drive and run CDRWIN. Select Extract Disk/Track/Sectors, 
the top middle button on the toolbar. 

2.	Choose Disk Image / Cuesheet as the Extract Mode.... Name the file '<game_name>.bin'
 	(ie. 'ravenger_e.bin' is the name I used for the Euro version of Road Avenger) and 
	make sure RAW mode is turned OFF in the Reading Options (important). 

3.	Click Start and CDRWIN will rip the BIN file and create a CUE sheet. 

4.	Run BINChunker and select Load Cue from the File menu. Browse to and Open the CUE file. 
	You will now see the track layout of the BIN file. 

5.	From the Options menu make sure that the Data Tracks are set to Mode 1 - 2048 bytes 
	per sector. 

6.	Select the first track (data) and Convert from the Action menu, which will create 
	an ISO file and save it to the same folder as the BIN.

	Please Note : I don't use BINChunker to extract the audio as WAV 
	(for conversion to MP3), because in my opinion, it doesn't do it properly. 
	It seems to insert the 2 second pregaps as 2 seconds of silence at the start of each 
	track, which is not correct. 

7.	You can now safely delete the BIN + CUE set (you've got what you want from it). 

8.	Run SCDCONV (from DOS) to check the validity of the ISO. If it displays the name 
	of the game and country format, then it's valid. If not, RAW mode may have been left 
	on when ripping, or there may be some other hardware / software issue.
	
	Quit SCDCONV without making any changes. 

9.	Run a program like Audio Catalyst or Audio Grabber to rip the audio. Both have optional 
	MP3 codecs to encode the audio. The minimum encoding bitrate should be 128k, although 
	160k or 192k are preferred. Normalisation should not be necessary, since the idea is to 
	replicate the original as closely as possible. 

10.	The ISO + MP3 set is now ready for naming, compression and uploading.
