    do you have nero recode or tmpgenc dvd author.

    With nero recode, after you encode the movie to mpeg2 you have the ability to merge both files together and then after you have burnt the movie you will get one continuous stream.

    with tmpgenc dvd author: after you load both files into the program and have made your menus etc.There is a tab(pull down menu) that will enable the whole film to be played totally.Even though you have 2 files in separate parts the player will be instructed (for a better term) to only see one complete file.Unless you know what you are looking for the join is minimal.

    Another option would be to use Pecks power joiner which can join avi's together and then you can convert both avi to mpeg 2 before you burn them to disc.

    hi...andmerr thanx.. for responding to my msg. i appreciated ur help.
    btw.. i like to ask about bin/cue files. i couldn't burn 2 cue files at the same time or together using nero. this time i have two seperated movies files (CD1 and CD2) but they are bin/cue files. i couldn't join them and burn on a dvd disc. i can burn them as CD1 and CD2 by burning them onto two CDs. i'm using the same procedure as u told me how to join avi files. it works on avi but it doesn't work on bin and cue files.
    sorry guys i'm a bit dumb, i'm really new to this stuff.
    thanx heaps guys..

    heres a link to burning bin/cue files with nero:

    http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/bin_cue_with_nero.cfm

    and here's some other info on .bin/cue files:

    BIN/CUE images are CD-Images that come in both a .bin and .cue file. The .cue file just stores information on the bin file for the burning software. This CD Image type is one of the most used today and is very reliable. Try the Afterdawn BIN/CUE FAQ here.




    1) What is a .BIN? What is a .CUE? What is an .ISO

    The .BIN / .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, BlindWrite, CloneCD, FireBurner. The .CUE file contains the track layout information, while the .BIN file holds the actual data.

    .ISO is also a CD image format, but is sometimes used for 'ISO9660 format' (standard, recognized by all applications) and sometimes for unique Easy CD ISO format.




    2) I have download .BIN&.CUE/.ISO files - what to do with them?




    You can burn them to a CD-R or a CD-RW with:

    -Alcohol 120% - My favourite, excellent software, easy and yet very advanced (burns ISO, BIN/CUE, CCD, CDI, BWT files!):
    http://cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/alcohol120.cfm

    - BlindWrite - easy to use: http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/blindwrite_suite.cfm

    - FireBurner - also very good, a single .EXE file! http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/fireburner.cfm

    - BurnAtOnce - A handy and FREE tool for burning .bin/.cue/.iso. Easy to use!
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/burnatonce.cfm

    - Nero - many of you have this, but it can't handle all image files:
    http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/nero.cfm

    - CDRWin - This is the original BIN/CUE software:
    http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/cdrwin.cfm


    You can also mount image files as virtual CD-ROM drives using

    Alcohol - http://cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/alcohol120.cfm

    Daemon Tools - http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/daemon_tools.cfm

    There are also several softwares you can use to exploit & manipulate BIN/CUE files in various ways:

    CDMage - http://www.geocities.com/cdmage/
    IsoBuster - http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/



    3) I have a .BIN file but no .CUE?



    .CUE can be made with just Notepad. A typical Playstation(One or 2) .CUE file looks like this:

    FILE "image-name.BIN" BINARY
    TRACK 1 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 1 00:00:00

    A typical PC CD-ROM .CUE looks like this:

    FILE "image-name.BIN" BINARY
    TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

    "image-name.BIN" being the name of the image file (IWDII.BIN, CIV3.BIN and so on...)

    Notice the difference of the track mode - PC-ROMs being Mode 1, Playstations CDs Mode 2 and (Super)Video CDs are also MODE2/2352.



    4) How do I make .BIN/.CUE files?



    CDRWin or the BIN/CUE format is not ideal for distributing. BlindWrite suite and CloneCD perform a lot better in this purpose and can also handle various copy protections. Both of these softwares can also create .CUE files for increased compatibility



    5) I have a .BIN & .CUE, but my CD writing software can't locate the .BIN file?



    Edit the .CUE file with Notepad (or similar) and verify that the FILE "C:\path\image.bin" matches the location of your image file



    6) My image file is IMAGE.BIN.EXE and I can't rename it!

    7) Sector sizes of CD image files (by Aldaco12)



    When you talk about images must think on SECTORS not on DATA SIZE.

    The rules are:

    1)A standard 74 min CD is made by 333,000 sectors.
    2) Each sector is 2352 bytes big, and contains 2048 bytes of PC (MODE1)Data, 2336 bytes of PSX/VCD (MODE2) Data or 2352 bytes of AUDIO.
    3) The difference between secor size and data content are the Headers info and the Error Correction Codes, that are big for Data (high precision required), small for VCD (standard for video) and none for audio.
    4)If you extract data in RAW format (standard for creating images) you always extract 2352 bytes per sector, not 2048/2336/2352 bytes depending on data type (basically, you extract the whole sector).

    This fact has two main consequences:

    a) You can record data at very high speed (40x) without losing information, but if you try to do the same with PSX or Audio you get unredable CD (for PSX) od audio CD with lots of clicks because there are not error correction codes (and error are more likely to occur if you record at high speed.

    b) On a 74 min CD you can fit very large RAW images,up to 333,000 x 2352 = 783,216,000 bytes (747 Mb). This should be the upper limit for a RAW image created from a 74 min CD. Remember that if you store standard data (backup files), you can burn only 333,000 x 2048 = 681,984,000 bytes (the well known 650 MB limit).

    Please note that an image size is ALWAYS a multple of 2352 bytes (you extract SECTORS), if extracted in RAW mode.


    UPDATE 13.10.2002: Added FAQs 5 and 6
    UPDATE 24.10.2002: Added BurnAtOnce
    UPDATE 28.10.2002: Added Alcohol 120%
    UPDATE 29.10.2002: Brief ISO comment
    UPDATE 17.01.2003: Added Aldaco12's sector size post. Cleaned the thread


    seee how you go

    hi

    Dvd Patcher

    http://www.videohelp.com/download/DVDPatcher_v106.zip

    i have just tested this app on 2 bin files! i extract the mpeg files out of the bins with isobuster then use dvd patcher on both to make dvd compliant (it doesnt really but fools apps) then i load straight into tmpgenc dvd author, i suppose you could load to nero visionexpress, but anyway doing this means [bold]NO ENCODING!![/bold] which means no loss of quailty!!!

    as tmpgenc dvd author just authors!

    Worked great on pc and dvd standalone player

    dont patch all the file only FIRST HEADERS!
