ivalid cue sheet error with cdrwin? Help?

[darkhunter]

Often when I try and burn a VCD with cdrwin when I go to open the cue file, I get the "invalid cue" error and I can do nothing with it. I tried to convert the bin/cue to mpeg with vcdgear, but no luck there either.
I have tried several versions of cdrwin including 4.0, but no luck. So does anyone have any ideas?? Is it in the unzipping (winrar) process messing it up, or are the rar's bad to begin with? (but usually if it is bad winrar tells me I am having these invalid cue errors on things that un-rar'ed perfectly)

thanks for any help.

If its a VCD you should be able to convert it with VCDgear with no trouble. I used it to convert at least 100 movies so far.

Darkhunter,

From what I understand, you burn VideoCD files from RAR files you got on the Internet. The most common reason in this case for cue-file errors is that the cue file contains the original path to the bin file, as created by the guy who made the original cue/bin on his computer.

I'll try to explain this. In the cue file, there is the complete path of the associated bin file.
Let's assume you create a cd image cue/bin called "Test" on your C:, in a dir called \Temp.

When you create bin/cue files, cd-r win will indicate in the cue file, the path to the bin file, in our case it will be c:\temp\test.bin

Now if you RAR these cue/bin and send them over on the Internet, the guy who will download them to his PC won't necessarily put them in a dir called c:\temp. And this will provoke errors when trying to open the cue file in Cd-R Win, since it won't find the bin file in "c:\temp" folder, as indicated in the cue file.

All you have to do is use a text editor, open the cue file, ane replace the wrong bin-file path with the correct path for you.

Let's assume you have downloaded and extracted your cue/bin file to a directory called "videocd" on your "E:" hard disk.
Then you have to edit the cue file and change our previous "d:\temp\test.bin" into "e:\videocd\test.bin".

Save the cue file and burn it. No more prob.
