[vesterlee]

i know must extract bin and cue but i am new to this stuff. i want to watch on my computer and then. i have 2 files that say cd1 and cd2. i open them and there are all these rar files when i open cd1. i double clicked on the first rar file and i see a bin and cue what do i do with them to be able to watch on computer? can i use vcdgear and if so how do i use it?

[El Torro]

hmm, wel, CUE and BIN files, are in fact some sort of ZIP files, you need to sort of "unpack" them to watch them on your computer...

therefor, you will need a program

get one there, that will unpack your CUE or BIN to MP(E)G

[SonKun]

You cant, well you can but you have to burn them first. Then you will actualy have the cd with the files on it. what a bin file is realy is the copy of the image on the cd and the cue is just what tells the burner how to burn it. So you will need a burning program that does bin/cue burning I recomend Fireburner. You can easily get it on KaZaA.

will these files fit on one cd?

[vesterlee]

can i convert to mpeg file?

[SonKun]

O whait I read your message again and I was wrong what you need to do is get WinRar and highlight all of the files in cd1 or two and right click and select extract with winrar and select were you want to put them and that should work sory for the rong advice.

[vesterlee]

what do do once extracted?

[SonKun]

well you should have your files no matter what kind they may be what you do next is up to you will probably get a mpeg of cd 1 and cd 2 but im not shur becaus im not shure what the files hade to begin with

[vesterlee]

it is cd1 and cd 2 but 2 doesnt have a cue file. i have it extracted how do i convert to mpeg?

[Gargoyle]

Use CDMage (you can find it in the "Tools" section to the left), or use VCDEasy (> Tools>(S)VCD Build/Rip)

[vesterlee]

okk will try

[vesterlee]

is there a guide for using vcdeasy if so send link


thanks for all the help guys

[vesterlee]

still having problems with this . i used the cdimage and it will not extract the file from the mpeg folder. what is wrong or what can i do to fix this. i am trying to convert the bin or cue file to mpeg.please help.

[fantomlord]

there's an easier way...
once you've gotten the bin and cue files, get a program from the tools section here called daemontools. that will let you mount the discs as virtual discs on your hard drive, and you can treat it as if it were a real CD--watch it, copy it...

[Gargoyle]

Using CDMage:
Load your .BIN file - select M2/2532 as image type
Expand the "track 1" directory (left-side pane) - click on the MPEG2 ( if SVCD) or MPEGAV ( if VCD) folder
In the right-side pane, right-click on the AVSEQ.xxx file, and select "extract"
Using VCDEasy:
goto Tools, select '(S)VCD Build/Rip'
bottom half of screen is "VCDxRIP"
click the "BIN/NRG file" button to load your .BIN file
Click the "XML file" button; enter any name/location
Click "Rip" button.
