How to create bin/cue from SVCD mpg file?

[pmcx9]

I know that VCDGear can create a bin and cue file from a vcd MPG.

Is there any software that can do the same for SVCD MPG files?

I know I can create a CD with Nero and then use CRDwin to make a cue and bin from that burt it is a little longwinded

Many thx

Hello pal,

Yes - VCDEasy (freeware). You can find it under "Tools" on the bar to the left in this website.

Take care

thx -I just found another one called VCD Imager as well

Have you experience of using both of these?

Which is better?

Any drawbacks?

Cheers for speedy reply

Hello pal,

Both are the same. VCDEasy actually uses VCD Inager.

Take care

Yep - done a few SVCD's now

Seems a nice piece of software

I think I will ditch VCDGear in favour of this.

Can VCDeasy tell you very quickly if an mpg file is vcd or svcd and PAL or NTSC. I can see it tells you this after the bin is made, I just wondered if it could give you this info straight away?

I am just looking at this chapter option;

I find the problem with VCD's in my standalone DVD player is I can only get a max of 4x FF speed. It appears with VCDeasy I can set a chapter point say every 5 mins so I can FF to 5min intervals. Is this correct and also will the chapter create any visible difference to the movie while playing it ie I hope it wont freeeze momentarily every time the player passes a chapter point?

Cheers
