    Aaah its the size of each sector that is the key!
    Error correction as I thought.
    Hey thanks a lot for that link, you've set up a great page there...one that I will be sending people straight to whenever I am -ALL TO OFTEN!- asked almost al of the questions you address there.
    Good work.
    thanks again.
    Still using ISOs though! My theory is that as the bin files I have already have the cd protections erm....I mean arent containing any cd protections and can run straight off the cd, I figure a conversion to save space is fine.
    cheers :)

    Sorry if this has been explained several times before... I have a .cue file and .bin file with the same name for a program. But, which file am I supposed to burn to the CD-R, the .cue? the .bin? somehow both? As you can see I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing here. Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

    Page (1) of this thread should answer your questions but essentially the CUE file is a bunch of text which defines how a BIN file is to be interpeted. For most programs, you burn using the CUE file (which then goes and uses the BIN file so you are essentially burning the BIN file).

    You could try mounting the BIN in a virtual cd drive from Daemon or something :)

    I have a bin and cue file. This is the cue...
    FILE "vcd-stepfordts1.bin" BINARY
    TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:06:00
    Is there any program that will let me see the what the bin file information looks like...I have tried many burn progs and I keep getting errors. I'm trying to figure out if its the bin or cue thats screwed up
    Thanks

    I have a bin and cue file. This is the cue...
    FILE "vcd-familyvacation.bin" BINARY
    TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    TRACK 02 MODE2/2352

    Thanks

    P/s Burnatonce does not work nor, Nero, Fireburner. Isobuster does not give me the file header info either.

    Hey, Praetor..

    I have another question:

    What is meant by an "encode" on a CD burning utility?

    I was burning some CDs yesterday, and I noticed that it asked me for encoder quality 1, 2, 3, 4.. etc..

    I think I read somewhere that CDs are usually encoded with "2" and not "1" . But I want to know what the difference is concerning this talk about encoder... Is it just quality difference, or some other difficult alogrithm thing.. :)

    thanks man..

    Not just that, you fail to realize the forum rules. This is your last warning

    Huh? Depends on the context but probably to encode a movie to proper (S)VCD format prior to burning.
