[sclug] CDRWIN .bin/cue format files

I have <cough!> acquired a couple of files purporting to be a ripped 
DVD. One is xx.fooobar.kvcd.bin, at 790M about right to be an AVI 
version of the disk, and the other is a 127 byte .cue file:

$ hexdump -C xx.fooobar.kvcd.cue

Neither 'file' nor konqueror tell me anything about the .bin file, but 
konq reports that the .cue file is a CDRWIN Cue-Sheet[1]

Googling for CDRWIN I find e.g. 
http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=CDRWIN which tells me that "What it 
does: ... Ripping: ... it makes images in the most compatible format, 
.bin/cue. From there you can anything with them, mount/burn/edit with 
any app u like."

I tried:

$ mount xx.fooobar.kvcd.bin mnt -t vfat -o loop 


but get

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop/0,
        missing codepage or other error
        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
        dmesg | tail  or so

$ dmesg | tail
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
FAT: bogus number of FAT structure
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev loop0.


At present I'm out of clues. Anybody else have any?




[1] where does it get this information? I thought it should be the same 
as what 'file' reports
