bin/cue file association

[mimiya]

Hi, I'm using PictureToTV and have successfully created several VCD Slideshows. Recently for some stupid reason I was messing around with the file association for the BIN/CUE files. Now I can't get the files to burn. It says 'can't read video file'. I've changed the program these files are associated with and don't know what it originally was. Does anyone know what program these files are supposed to be associated with to properly work?? I know, I'm an idiot -but this is so frustrating!!

bin/cue files can be associated with several cd burning warez such as nero, fireburner, etc. you can also remove the mpeg from those files with isobuster and then burn them using nero or easy cd creator
hope that helps

OK, thanks for your help...except it was all greek to me! How would I extract the mpeg and then burn it using easy Cd creator. I am very new at all of this-sorry...

Sometimes you need to edit the cue file in Windows Notepad or similar ACSII text editor - the first line will have a path for the bin file like

"C:\Capture\MyMovie.bin"

change this to

"MyMovie.bin"

(ie. remove the path info)

And now the bin/cue burning program will probably find the file & burn it.

The first line in the cue file is:

FILE "Matt & Debs videocd.bin" BINARY

So I don't see where it indicates the file path. What do you think I need to do?

Change FILE "Matt & Debs videocd.bin" BINARY
to FILE "MDvideocd.bin" BINARY

Then rename your bin to MDvideocd.bin

Some programs don't like spaces or the & character

of course...make sure that your bin and cue files are in the same directory, otherwise your burning program won't find the bin file since there is no indicated path

I got it!! It WAS the space in the file name that was messing it up! Thanks everyone for your help-I'm burnin' away now!
