How to make a dvd from a bin

Okay, if you new guys are like me, you dont have a clue how to make a dvd movie from a downloaded bin. After many hours of testing, I found a way that works for me, but there are many ways.

You download the huge winrar/winzip file and unzip. As you unzip all the files in the main zip, the .bin file will build. Then I use Isobuster to extract all the mpeg frames from the bin file it built. In isobuster, click open file image file, then click the mpeg folder, and right click the actual movie and tell it to extract all mpeg frames.

Now you have the movie,but its not dvd compliant. I use tmpgnce to convert it over to dvd compliant, the author it using Ulead or Tmpgnce dvd author, and burn the TS folder to a dvd.

You will have problems sometimes when you plug the mpeg into tmpgnce to convert it to dvd compliant. You will get an error message "cannot create file". When you get this, you will need to de-multiplex the file, so the audio and video are split into 2 separate files. You have to open tmpgnce, go to "mpeg tools" and click "demultiplex"....this will let you create a video file only from the source file, then an audio file only, from the source file, then take both of those files, plug them into tmpgnce and it will build them back together as it creates the working dvd file. In "mpeg tools" you have the option to use "simple de-multiplex" which lets you create an audio and video file from the source file at the same time, HOWEVER this never works for me, if I do it that way, when I plug in the files to tmpgnce, I get the "cannot create message".....very strange, but thats just what it does.

So there you have it, good luck.

Tip: you can "mount" the bin as a virtual cd/dvd using Daemon Tools (in the tools section). You can then access the mpeg files as if you had a drive. This would save the time of copying the mpegs out using isobuster.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Most these bin files will be created for 2 cds, it will create two cd folders, but you can join them using Filemerger before you encode them in tmpgnce so you have to only use one dvd, not two.

That seems an awful lot fo work to burn as DVD. Why not burn as it was desinged to CD? Is your standalone player inacapable of playing VCD or SVCD?
