Advantages of Burining Bin files

[gpwake]

Are there any advantages to burning your SVCD's from Bin/Cue Files?

As of now i am using Dazzle to capture the AVI video, then using TMPGEnc to render the avi into MPG format (mainly because it has way better rendering options than Movie Star 5.2), then using Movie Star 5.2 which comes with dazzle to burn the rendered video.

Would there be any advantages to using VCDImager to create Bin/Cue files from the rendered MPG-2 file created by TMPGEnc, then use Fireburner to burn the SVCD, instead of just buring the straight up MPG-2 created by TMPGEnc file with Movie Star 5.2???

Any thoughts would be much appreciated....

.bin files allow you to mount them on a virtual drive to test them in power dvd (or other) before you actually put them on a disk. sinse i always end up with bin's(dvd2svcd- good for dbz moviesand other ashort anime) or iso's(ifoedit and dvddecrypter), this lets me test the video quality and audio sync before i use a cdr or dvd-r. all my avi's and dvd rip's are put into a image file first before i burn and i wouldn't do it differently. after i test it, i throw it in nero, burn, check in pc for errors(in the burn process) and put it in the case without even having to check it on my standalone.

hope this helps you some, but wait for more post

There is no advantage in burning CUE/BIN formats per se, but there is a huge benefit in using VCDImager +/- one of its GUIs (e.g., VCDEasy or TSCV).

You are near guaranteed that if you use VCDImager that you can get absolutely compliant discs. Furthermore, VCDImager also allows a good rigourous system of making menus and other forms of user interactivity.

VCDImager is highly recommended over any other small companies (usually lame and/or buggy) implementation of "S/VCD".
