Cloning a mounted image?

Hey everyone

I have been lurking here for a while, but this question has gotten the best of me and my curiosity... I did some extensive searching (this site, others, google...) and maddeningly have found almost nothing on it!

I have some games in bin/cue format and I was wondering if I could mount them with Daemon Tools and "rip" the mounted image with software like CloneCD, or Alcohol 120 or BlindWrite, and if it would work as a "cloned" image, i.e. one that was ripped from a source CD... Sorry if this question is a bit silly, I actually know it can "rip" the image, I just dont know if it would work, I am still new at all of this, but I am learning

TIA

Here is one thing that you can do!

Mount the file in Alcohol or what you whant to.

And re-read with Alcohol, blindwrite or what you whant. In you format as you prefer.

But obs! If the image you mount is bad, the result on the converting progress or what you call is also bad.

If it's safedisc protection and you don't have bad sectors in the original image file, you wont get bad sectors in the converted file. and so on.

Alcohol can do clone cd image.

BUT my question is to you. WHY DO YOU RIP. AND HOW DID YOU GET THE IMAGE FILE? DOSEN'T SEAMS THAT YOU CREATED THE FILE BUY YOUR SELF. BECUASE THEN YOU COULD MAKE IT A CLONECD RIGHT AWAY! SEAMS PRETTY DOWNLOADED IN MY VIEWE!

And yes I shaut and didn't forgett the caps-lock. (reservs the comment that I might get from RincewindTheWiz)
