Bin/cue is 500MB but nero says 1.1GB???

[goliat28]

Hi all
This is my first question on this board. i dont think its the last one..

My problem is this.
I whant to burn a vcd whid nero. I have tryed 5, 5540 and 5551. I have a bin/cue file ho is 500MB, I put in a 700MB cd-r. And nero just shout out this file will not fit on this cd-r? When I look in nero the file is around 1,1GB? I have tryed diffrent vcd and it all say the same.

I´m skratching my head out..

goliat28 want to look on vcd.

try another bin/cue burning software

Don't use Nero for burning Cue/Bin files, very unrecommanded! use programs that KNOW how to handle the format, such as:

CDRWin (inventor of the standard Cue/Bin)
FireBurner
BlindWrite Suite
CDRDao (FreeWare)

or if you realy want to burn with nero get vcdgear
and convert bin to mpeg file

Firstly, it is completely illogical to use VCDGear on a CUE/BIN image assuming you made it with VCDImager in the first place.

Secondly, Nero DOES NOT burn CUE/BIN images properly even if you go past the size doubling thing. What it does wrong is detailed here: http://www.hvrlab.org./~hvr/vcdimager/nero_bug.html This site is intermittently down. If it is, use SEARCH on the top of the page on the URL because I recently posted the content of that page on the forums.

Thirdly, I wrote a short article on how to burn a CUE/BIN image here: http://www.geocities.com/medinotes/vcd/burning_cuebin_images.html
