Hello. I have a 791MB KVCD file and no DVD Burner. Is there a possible way to perhaps extract an mpeg or an avi from the .bin file so I can split them over two discs or maybe just split the file altogether as the initial .bin so I could file two parts on two CDs? Thanks in advance.
i know if you use toast to mount it.. you can extract the mpeg. but i'm trying to see how you can split it up. imovie maybe.?!?
You are talking about a KVCD movie released as bin/cue files for burning with a program like Nero. You can go ahead and burn them to disc, or to a disc image on your hard drive, or you can open up the bin file with an unzipping program that supports bin files like ALZIP (free). Once you have opened the bin, look in the file structure for the MPEGAV folder. Inside that folder is probably a single file named AVSEQ01.DAT - this is the mpeg file - depending on the parameters used it could be MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 (KSVCD or KDVD). Just copy it to your hard drive (or extract it with ALZIP or other bin-compatible unzipping program), and rename it with a .mpg extension. It will play in any media player.
"I have a 791MB KVCD file and no DVD Burner." Do you have a CDR burner? 791mb fits on a single CDR - "700"MB CDs actually hold 800MB of video data. (The difference has to do with an error correcting bit added to the cd audio standard, we use compressed audio/video codecs with their own error correction so we can use the whole 800MB) You can extract the MPEG file as I described in the previous post, but you don't need to, it will all fit on a standard "700MB" 80 minute CDR.
Oops, I'm a careless newbie in this forum. Didn't notice we were talking Macs. The advice above is the same, but the programs used will have to be the Mac equivalents. You can still burn that KVCD to a single CDR.
