Right. Perhaps it is just a corrupt file but I want to know. I have downloaded a game and burned all three files to Cds. I checked the directory structure with Daemon Tools and it is fine. however when i go to install it the setup program won't start. It seems to replicate itself in task Manager but does not appear. Any ideas people?
Its all gone horribly wrong

Hi there! this is a great site and is extremely useful. A great thread, I have read most of it but I have a couple of questions:
I am trying to get the nintendo games for the playstation on to a disc from a downloaded file. Is it a simple case of copying all of the files downloaded onto a CD to put into the playstation? I tried this and it loads up to the screen where the playstation symbol is meant to be showm, but it isnt there and all it says is 'playstation' and for some reason two letter 'd's aswell.
How can I get it to load up? Is there some special thing I need to do to make it work?
Any help would me very, very appreciated.
Cheers

Why m8? You could download Alcohol 120% then go to general>options>shell extension>enable iso file format then burn Sim City 4 using the Safedisc 2 datatype profile (RAW DAO) at 8x. Enable cue file format and give it a go and see what happens for both images. Depending upon the brand name burner will determine if you need emulation to play your backups.

Damn, does anybody know how to read anymore? Wow, reading this thread is scary haha. Okay here's something that i think should be added to the faq: since version 3.0, blindwrite bin/cue files are not compatable with any other burning software. Says so on the web page. Therefore if you have a problem with a bin/cue file not burning correctly in other apps, it might be a good idea to try blindwrite.

I wonder if nOObs actually read here first before posting . Use burnatonce (freebie) and burn your bin& cue files, it's that simple.....

Hi, I have a BIN and CUE file for a video game but I can't burnt them onto a CD because the BUIN file is over 900mb. I don't think I could split the file up either, considering it's a game, what can I do?

I am still trying to find a way to view a movie that is in .bin/.cue format. Does anyone know of any software that allows you to watch w/o burning??? The files are large and I only have 700mb CD's to burn onto??? I know that I can try and burn them using Alcohol 120% burn at once, but after doing this I still can't play the movie. Is there some way to convert this .bin/.cue into .mpg or .AVI??? Please help I have read the "READ HERE FIRST" and it is not very specific for us computer illiterates...

How big are the bin& cue files? I've burned files as large as 835 mg (bin& cue) file format using burnatonce. You can use Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools (freebie), mount the image and play the movies from a virtual stealth drive.It is recommended to burn video no faster than 8x

zurd: might you consider then moving up to larger media? perhaps the 900MB discs will allow you ample overburning room
iisk8: there is a player designed just for playing movies embedded in BIN files... i cant remember what it is but i'm sure the people in VCD/SVCD know it by name and MD5 hash hehe. Seriously though, you can use a program called ISOBuster, UltraISO, WinISO or CDMage (my reccommendation, and its free). To watch your movie, extract the contents of the MPEG2 or VCD (or whatever its called) folder. Essentially you are extracting the largest file in the image and drag-and-drop this extracted file, usually an MPEG or DAT file onto any software DVD player (i.e. PowerDVD or WinDVD). CDMage:http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html (to actually extract the files, select the file you want to extract, right click, select extract files, give it a destination and extract away). When you open the BIN file (or drag-and-drop) with CDMage, it will present you with a box to select the proper reading format. Simple trial and error will determine the correct reading format (however i think for (S)VCDs it is Mode2/2352 or somethin like that)
Furthermore, the reason i suggest CDMage is that you can check for corruption and fix some corruptions that may occur in images (remember to make a backup first before you fix anything). To check a BIN file, first open it up, goto the Action menu and select Check Image for errors (or something like that).

I recently downloaded Nero Ultra 6.0.0.9. It came in .bin and .cue formats. I have WinISO. I want to simply install the files so that I can essentially use Nero. I don't want to burn these .bin and .cue files.
Don't kill me. I am a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff and don't think I don't think I found what I was looking for in the FAQ so far.

Okay the basics.... a BIN/CUE file is just an image of a CD... you probably gathered as much from the first couple posts. If you have a BIN/CUE of a movie, odds are that it is in a format called SVCD or VCD. These formats are intended to alllow for playback on standalone DVD players. Therefore , if you want to watch them on computer, you should not use Windows Media Player but rather a software DVD player such as PowerDVD or WinDVD; the reason is that you need something called an MPEG-2 codec. When this codec is installed (i.e., when you install your DVD software), you might be able to play your (S)VCDs in Windows Media Player but dont count on it, WMP is quirky)
So to answer your second question, by burning the BIN/CUE onto a CD you can watch it on your computer/standalone. To actually carry out the burning:
- If you have Nero 5, first open Nero (and close the popup wizard thing if it open up), goto File --> Burn Image and select the CUE file) and burn away
- If you have Nero 6, first open Nero (and close the popup wizard thing if it comes up), goto Recorder --> Burn Image and select the CUE file) and burn away
To answer your first question, you can convert a BIN/CUE to an AVI
1. Download a program called CDMage (http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html)
2. Open the BIN file with it (or drag and drop)
3. It will pop up a box to ask you how you want to open the file.... trial and error will let you pick the right one... it should be "Mode2/something"). If you choose the wrong one it wont let you open it and you just need to try again
4. Find the largest file in the BIN (usually in a MPEG2 folder or something), the file should be something in the range of 700MB or more)
5. Right click on the MPEG/MPG/DAT file and select EXTRACT. Give it a destination and extract the file... do this for each subsequent disc (since most (S)VCDs have multiple discs). Remember to give each of them a meanigful name hehe so you can differentiate which disc is which.
6. At this point you can simply Drag and Drop your MPG/MPEG/DAT file onto a software DVD player and it will allow you to watch the movie. But since you want to convert to AVI, read on
7. Download a program called TMPGEnc. Open it up (and close whatever popups come up). Drag and drop this MPEG/MPG/DAT file into it to open it. Then go File --> Output to File --> AVI. You may need to specify a audio/video codec and corresponding bitrates. I would reccommend you use either DivX/XviD and a video bitrate in the range of 700+ Kb/s and the MP3 audio codec at whatever bitrate your choose
8. Once you have set the necesarry parameters click OK and it will churn away converting your file into an AVI. Note that TMPGEnc does the video first and the audio component second (that is if u want to sit around and watch the progress bars).

Interesting name hehe but seriously though:
1. Grab a program called Daemon Tools (http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/daemon_tools.cfm) and install it
2. When its done installing, right click on the new icon in your system tray and select Virtual CD/DVD Rom, goto a virtual drive (usually one is created automatically for you) and mount an image.
3. Mount the BIN/CUE and then either the autorun starts up or just go into My Computer and manually start the installation out of the virtual drive.
