Need some Newbie help

[pecefrogg]

I'm new, so go easy. I just downloaded a movie (first one), and in my attempt to burn it VCD with Nero, I cannot link the cue file with the bin file. I may have heinously screwed up somehow, because although the file is exactly where it should be, it is NOT a bin file. It's a .part file.

My question: what do I need to do with this .part file in order to be able to burn it? Is a conversion possible? If I need to just dump it all and start over, I will. But it'll kinda bum me out.

This question is probably dumb enough that I'm making someone's ears ring with it, but I've searched this site up & down with no luck.

Any suggestions?

nero is notoriously bad with bins and cues.. try using fireburner.

www.fireburner.com

just open up fireburner and select 'file > load tracks' then select your bin file. it should load fine. you might need to re-name your file so it has an .iso extension instead of .bin ..

Thanks for the tip, Geek Rock. But, no go.

Somehow, I either converted the .bin file to a .part file when I was goofing with Isobuster or something.

What the heck is a .part file anyway?? Where the .bin should be I've got:

1.part

1.part.met

2.part

2.part.met

Ive checked the properties of the .part files, and they are in fact of the exact same size the .bin is supposed to be. I thought that maybe it was for "partial" but the files are completed.

I'm stumped.

sounds like you need to take yourself on over to the edonkey forum to figure your problem out.


if the files are still part then why do you think you finished downloading???

go to sharereactor.com and look through their newbie guide--it will explain how and why you sometimes will end up downloading more than the file is supposed to contain before you are actually finished downloading

Fantom Lord- ya nailed it dude. The first .bin file ended up larger than expected, and simply wasn't finished.

Looks like I posted in the right forum after all (Newbie.)

Thanks to all for the suggestions & help.
