    Alright, trying to back up a dvd. I have two files atm cd1 and cd2, each file contains numerous files named .r00 - .r55, a .svf file, and a .rar file containing my .bin and .cue files. Can some1 please tell me what the next step is in burning a VCD???? I've tried to uncompress the bin and cue files into this directory and then burn the cue using Nero, as I've found instructions for on the forum, but it didnt work. I couldn't even play that disk using windows media player, and it didn't work in my dvd player.

    the best way to do it is to make a file you can find easy and use all the time taht way you dont get files allover the place.
    then use winrar to unzipp to that file then use Alcohol 120 and select burn image wizard??? and pointit to the cue and click start this will auto burn the bin file.

    keep me informed

    Also, I've read a lot that says I should keep the burn speed low, is that a problem when using alcohol 120, I mean should i keep it at 4x or can i go max?
