.bin and .cue file help!

[Damian]

Can anyone please tell me how do i make the .bin and .cue files on vcd??? i downloaded the .bin and .cue files of spider man, but now what do i do??? Are they all ready to be burnt on the vcd? or do i still have to format, dub, etc...??? So the question is.... What do I do with .bin and .cue files???

They are ready to burn with cdrwin or fireburner.

You can burn them with Nero also i think ..... all i do is use VCDquality and convert them into MPG's. This reduces the size of them a little bit ... not much..... i delete the cue/bin file and then i burn the MPG with Nero. It doesnt reduce the quality of the picture at all when you convert it from cue/bin to MPG. If it does ... then it is so small of a change that the human eye cant tell.

So should i re-convert the .cue file or the .bin file w/ TMPG?

Thanks, NERO does work for the .bin files.
All I did was just open NERO, Burned image, opened the .cue files (after editing it to specify the .bin file extension) and burned it with NERO.
Thanks again!

There is a reason why VCDs are sent as CUE/BIN packages rather than the raw MPEG file... it is so that YOU DON'T have to reauthor it!

CUE/BIN is a disc image format. The idea is to BURN it. You can now do so with many many burning proggies including CDRWin (best), CDRDAO (next best and freeware-- use a GUI with it like VCDEasy or XDuplicator) and even the newer versions of Nero do it properly now.

You should only extract stuff out of a CUE/BIN image if:
1. The CUE file is missing (then, you can regenerate it by using VCDXRIP and then VCDXBUILD)
2. You want to edit/enhance the VCD (you should use VCDXRIP to get all the files + the XML descriptor)
3. You don't actually want to create a physical VCD and just want the MPEG
4. The CUE/BIN is corrupted and you want to salvage what you can

When I used nero, i had to change the .cue file
In the .cue file there was no extension of the movie i had
ex. the .cue file had:
FILE "Spiderman (2002).TS.CD2-CENTROPY.ShareReactor.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:10:00

So I had to change it to:
FILE "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Spiderman (2002).TS.CD2-CENTROPY.ShareReactor.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:10:00
