Got "Zoom", still can't play SVCD

[wackjob]

I "obtained" my first SVCD for my daughter, it's "Hellboy.svcd.ts" (don't know what the .ts means). Anyway, I installed Zoom standard + the MPEG 2 splitter (Zoom site said it would be needed).Inside the Hellboy folder (1.54GB) are two folders, CD1 & CD2. Inside CD1 are two files, HB1.bin, HB1.cue. Inside CD2 are two files, HB2.bin, HB2.cue, and that's it. None have a particular icon associated with them. I opened the configuration menu for Zoom and associated MPEG2 files with it. When I run Zoom and open the Hellboy folder, it doesn't recognize any of the files. What am I doing wrong? Must I burn this first? Please help out a struggling newbie! p.s.- I did "do some basic research before posting"!

What am I doing wrong?

8) A mod will soon be here to assist with this one.

[indolikaa]

I hope it's offline myself.


Unless tgpo's having a bad day. That'd be just as good, too. :P

[wackjob]

Be nice now! I've been around a lot of forums, & know it'd always nice to "thump a newbie".

[indolikaa]

Oh you're going to get thumped all right.

Warez includes downloaded copyrighted movies, movies that are not yet released on VHS/DVD and copying rented movies.

[Grimey]

you're not being "thumped". Hellboy isn't out on dvd yet, but you have a home copy= Warez. no warez on these boards. i've only been a member for a few weeks, and even i know that we're not supposed to discuss warez. it's really not that hard to know what your allowed to talk about.

[sacajaweeda]

p.s.- I did "do some basic research before posting"!

I liked this part the best. It makes me laugh.

[ZippyP.]

(don't know what the .ts means)

It either means Telesync or Total Shit. Maybe both.

[indolikaa]

Thick Skull.

[wackjob]

Well, I just said I "obtained" it, and it did come with a complete front & back CD cover. Looked real. How am I supposed to know it was "warez". I got it as a .torrent. Who the hell knows where it came from. OK, so forget about Hellboy, just tell me how to play .svcd. I also downloaded the mpeg2 codec from here, for WMP9. Keep on thumpin"!

[Grimey]

I got it as a .torrent.

does that mean you downloaded it? if you downloaded a movie, how do could you not know it was warez?

[Grimey]

As well, the answer to your question can be found easily on this site. i know exactly what you have to do, but i can't tell you cause then i would be supporting warez. but if you did a little research i'm sure you can figure it out.

[teegee420]

How am I supposed to know it was "warez".

The fact that you didn't pay for it and that it's not even available on DVD yet should have tipped you off.

[Shocker Milwaukee]

This is my first post. I must say WOW! It almost seems like it's a joke... Wait, it has to be a joke, right?

[wackjob]

does that mean you downloaded it? if you downloaded a movie, how do could you not know it was warez?

Yes, I downloaded it. I confess. Didn't know this was Mother Theresa's Video help forum. And I suppose everyone else who posts here is just looking for information on how to copy their "legally obtained" DVD's into .svcd files just for shits & giggles. No one copies Blockbuster videos or anything like that, right? And here's the covers that came with it. I doubt warez would bother being so complete:





These are .png. Might not even load. Just felt something should be left for relevence. A future visitor might not truly understand my crime without them.

[indolikaa]

Oh look! We got ourselves a wiseass. I normally wouldn't step away from my pinball machines for this, but seeing you want to be an ******* about it...

This isn't Mother Theresa's Video help forum. She's dead, and I'd like to think that someone of her charitable conscious would be immune from twats like you who'd use her name in vain. Obviously, I was wrong.

Let's look at the Forum Rules one more time, shall we?

Warez includes downloaded copyrighted movies, movies that are not yet released on VHS/DVD and copying rented movies.

Last time I checked, Hellboy was copyrighted. Therefore, you downloaded a copyrighted movie. That's a violation of Forum Rules. I don't know if there's a way to make that any more clear to you. Strike 1.

Most of us here are not stupid enough to mention the name of the movie or file we are working with. By not discussing the name of the movie in question, you'd have been provided a plethora of help, even though the nature of your question was borderline. We didn't need to know what the movie was, we only need to know the format and container it was downloaded in. Strike 2.

And your reference to Mother Theresa is sickening. She's dead, and the world is one less person who cared enough to help those people nobody else cared about. Using her name in this context is an insult. Strike 3.

Dumbass.

[Grimey]

just because it comes with covers doesn't make it legal.

[sacajaweeda]

I see somebody got into the fuckwit pills.

[wackjob]

Could've been donated by a benevolent organization, ya know. I donate software all the time, and other donars donate back. Kinda like a "blood bank".

[Shocker Milwaukee]

Nice pictures. The fact that they didn't charge for it & it wasn't available to purchase legally didn't tip you off?

[teegee420]

I'm not going to take the moral high road and pontificate to you because God knows I've done my share of questionalbe downloading. The difference between you and I is that I don't go around talking about it, putting this great site in jeopardy by making it a safe haven for illegal warez. Show a little respect for this forum and its owner.

[indolikaa]

Amen what teegee said. And read my edited post. If you can remove yourself from the Tower of Babel for a moment, you might understand the problem you've caused...

[teegee420]

Dumbass.

Now that's what I'm talking 'bout!

[wackjob]

Ok, I apologize. Not that it's going to make any difference now, but I'm man enough to admit I made a mistake. My reference to Mother Theresa was not an insult, it was a comparision between purity and the impure. I highly respect her, I am well aware she is a saint. It's just that all of you came down so hard on me about warez, copywrites etc. as is you're all so pure. You're not, and you know it. What I am guilty of is just pure ignorance. I said I was new to this, both the subject matter and the forum. I read the rules and thought enough to just say I'd "obtained" it, that getting away from warez. It never occurred to me to be as obscure as to just vaguley reference Movie "X", file "Z'" and so on. Too bad. I really hoped I'd be able to make this work for my daughter. I won't bother you again.

Let me quote this thread I just ran across...

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=11326

A little birdie tells us to expect the Region 1 DVD release of Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy as early as 27th July 2004! With the release window between theatrical and DVD debuts ever decreasing this does not come as much of a surprise, but considering the UK theatrical release is not due until early September you can bet this will be one of the year’s most heavily imported titles.

Now what other country in Region 2 is likely to have already released Hellboy in theaters AND already released it to DVD? I mean, the 'artwork' you posted clearly shows this to be a PAL UK release. How are they releasing the DVD before it's even shown in the theaters?

Herein lies the problem, Tom. What part of the world are you from?

[sacajaweeda]

Ask yourself this:

What possible relevance could the actual name of ANY movie file have when you're ripping, burning, encoding, transcoding, authoring, etc. ?

It's all basicly 1's & 0's.

[wackjob]

Wow! You guys just can't let go of my being "an *******" for daring to mention the title. Just being informative maybe. I'm a stickler for details but in hindsight, no the title really wouldn't matter, unless one of you had it & also had trouble. Guess I was wrong. And not that it REALLY matters at all, but I'm from NY. (Crickets,>Laughter)

[indolikaa]

This thread will last well into the beginning of the week. This I have forseen.


By the way, the method in which .bin and .cue files are associated is well documented on this forum.

[sacajaweeda]

Wow! You guys just can't let go of my being "an *******" for daring to mention the title.

Sorry. I'm affraid you are hopelessly screwed now. You will be piled upon, ridiculed, mocked, taunted, defended by other fuckwits just like you, abused, laughed at, made fun of, insulted, attacked and a whole bunch of other stuff you don't wanna think about, until a mod comes along and puts you out of your misery. It's bloodsport on this board, and depending on the mod this thread may go on for days and several dozen pages.

Sorry.

[wackjob]

Hmmm, not quite sure why but I'm beginning to feel a bit like Pavlov's dog here now.

EDIT: Oh, I'm sure sure you're right about the abuse. I said I've experienced it before. At the last forum however I wasn't quite so complacent. The first kick in the teeth set me off, & things got way out of control, and fast. I'll try and post the link but it's really an obstrucated URL and may not work. If it does, scroll down a few posts and you'll see what I mean.

Final edit:

defended by other fuckwits just like you,

That's "Mr. Fuckwit" to you, sir!
