Trouble with Cue sheets. Please Help.

[MDK]

I am working on making backups of some of my DVD's. Everything else goes well until I get to the BIN-CUE step. I create a bin-cue set with vcdimager 0.6.2rc2 and the 0.6 version of vcdimagerGUI and the work just fine. However the resultant bin-cue set is specific to the path which I created it in. I want to be able to create bin-cue sets that are not path specific, as in it does not matter where the set is just as long as they are in the same folder. I have tried to just delete the specific path information from the cue file but fireburner always spits out an error.

I know it cannot be that hard to do because it is done all the time, just not by me

Any insight on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

P.S. I have also tried this with the lastest version of VCDImagerEasy with the same results.

Have you tried Switching to CDRwin and trying that.

Personaly, i think Fireburner sucks, but that's only my opinion.

Perhaps you can create your bin/cue sets that point to a place that should be on everyone's PC box: c:\my documents ... that way all you have to do is give one simple instruction: "Save this bin/cue set to your My Documents folder, and burn."

Hi,

Thanks for the respones, but I know that there is a way to do it so it does not matter where you put the bin-cue set.

I have not tried CDRWin. I own, really, Fireburner and up until now have not had any difficulty with it. I do not think this is a fireburner issue since I have burned the type of bin-cue sets I am talking about and had no trouble.

Thanks again for your responses

duhhh, ever tried opening your cuesheet in notepad? when you see the path for your BIN file in the CUESHEET, it will say something like FILE "C:\My Documents\Test.bin" BINARY
change it to
FILE "Test.bin" BINARY
and your all set.

If you read my original post:

You will see that I have tried that, exactly that actually, and it did not work. I have tried it with many different BIN-CUE sets and it has never worked. There has to be something else to it.

Intereting...

I use VCDImager 0.7.x to create my VCDs so I have CUE/BIN images too. The cuesheet is never path specific and I've never had any problems burning them...

Regards.

[MDK]

vitualis,

I also am using VCDImager 0.7.x, just with the VCDImagerEasy GUI. That is very interesting. All the ones I have created are path specific and when I remover the path info fireburner refuses to burn it.

I will keep trying

im pretty sure you have to have location in cue as the burning software needs to know where the bin file is located
just remame extension from bin to iso then burn with adaptec or similar that way you wont even need the little cue sheet again

[MDK]

daren b,

good idea. I will have to try that.

Thanks

I create my CUE/BIN images in the same directory as VCDImager is (actually, I just copy over all the relevant bin files to a temp directory). The CUE file will direct to the name of the BIN file, but I'm pretty darn sure it is not path specific. BTW, I don't use a GUI.

As for renaming it to ISO, etc., you may have problems with the resultant disc (in terms of track locations, track indicies, etc).

MDK, your problem could be a Fireburner error. Fireburner does not fully support or correctly support all the commands in a cuesheet. CDR-Win obviously does... and I think CDRDAO does too.

You should give CDRDAO a go. It is open source freeware (search for CDRDAO with Google and you'll find the Win32 binaries of the latest version). There is a nice Win32 GUI for it too called "XDuplicator". If it doesn't work for you, then you haven't really lost out on anything.

Regards.

vitualis,

Thanks for the extra bit of information. Been trying since the original post and still had no luck. I will try creating the bin-cue files in the same directory as VCDImager, failing that I will make a move towards CDRDAO

Thanks again, I will post some results
