bin/cue

[elitespart]

I downloaded a video file that is in the bin/cue format. It's 801 MB in size. What should I do to get it to play on my dvd player in the best quality possible?

Burn it to CD with a image burning program. Try ImgBurn, or Nero can do that. But what format is it? A BIN/CUE is just a container that can have just about any format in it.

You might try playing it on a computer first with VLC media player. It should play the BIN file. Then you can also check the format.

Also do I put this on a dvd-r or a cd-r?

[redwudz]

It's a VCD format made for a CD. But you will have to burn it in Mode 2 to fit on a 700MB CD. I would give ImgBurn a try first. Then maybe Nero: 'Recorder>Burn Image'.

If no luck with the filesize being rejected, you may have to convert to DVD after extracting the file from the image container. I suspect the quality is pretty poor, so I would view it first before trying to convert to DVD.

k i'll try that once it's done downloading. Mode 2 is an option in ImgBurn?

[redwudz]

ImgBurn works fine. I just selected a BIN file from a SVCD video that was 829MB and it burned with no problem on a 700MB disc in mode 2. Seems to work better than Nero for this. Mode 2 was automatically selected.

Of course this is all covered in the STICKY at the top of the page.

[elitespart]

ooo true true. srry about that.

[elitespart]

ok wait one last question. I burned uploaded the .bin into ImgBurn and made the CD but it wont play on my DVD player. It says: wrong disc. But it works on my computer. Is this jus cuz my dvd player doesn't accept VCDs?

[Krispy Kritter]

Most likely, not all DVD players support VCD and/or SVCD.
