Hello, I have searched the forums and learned how to burn the cue/bin files using alcohol 120% and nero 6. I have tried both softwares to no avail. I think maybe the bin file is corrupt but I dont know how to find this out. I have the error logs of both alcohol 120% and of nero 6, if they would help in any diagnostic, let me know and i'll post them. Thank you
It can only be corrupt. Use CDMage and 'scan for corruption' the image. It happens, sometimes...or maybe the .CUE specifies the "C:\strange_directory\image.BIN" and not only "image.BIN" that, by default, makes Nero/Alcohol 120%/CDRWin search the .BIN in the same directory of the .CUE (then correct it with Notepad). CDMage prevents to burn 'coasters' but the software could at least 'burn' it, without giving errors (what happened?). More, if you can 'mount' a correct image and scan it with Clony XXL you can detect its protection, if any (but some protection will need .SUB, .MDS formats, not simple .CUE/.BIN sets).
Hey aldaco12, Thanks for the reply! I scanned the .bin file for errors as you suggested and CDMage found none. I then checked the .cue file for an incorrect path name; I found "image" instead of "image.BIN". I changed it retried the burning and again it failed. I even tried extracting the mpg file from the bin file using isobuster, then tried burning the mpg file (~800MB) using nero and the same error occurred. Are there some sort of system requirements for burning an image? I also re-downloaded the image file and still same problem. I'll post the log file for nero and alcohol to see if it helps. ******************************************************* ********************** NERO LOG FILE ****************** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 17/06/2003 3:25:04 PM Nero version: 6.0.0.23 (Nero Express) Recorder: <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T>Version: 1.09 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.0.0.23 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 4096kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T>Version: 1.09 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.0.0.23 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : COMPAQ CD-ROM CDU701-Q atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : COMPAQ HB00441AA2 5541 symc8xx Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : COMPAQPCDDRS-34560W S99C symc8xx Port 2 ID 4 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.2a axwhisky Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T E: CDRom0 COMPAQ CD-ROM CDU701-Q F: CDRom1 AXV CD/DVD-ROM G: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 24117248 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 127MB (130608kB) Free physical memory: 23MB (24124kB) Memory in use : 81 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 28.7.2004 CueSheet 4:05:07 PM #1 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 4:05:07 PM #2 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T running 4:05:07 PM #3 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3218 Turn on Disc-at-once, using CD-R/RW media 4:05:07 PM #4 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 233 Last possible write address on media: 359848 (79:59.73) Last address to be written: 355153 (78:57.28) 4:05:07 PM #5 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 238 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 4:05:07 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 1997 Recorder: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T;

I tried simulating the burn with a regular cd-r 80Min and it seemed to work. I am trying to burn the bin file to a cdrw 80Min and I think that is the problem. I have updated the firmware of my plexwriter 8/4/32 but nothing changes. Any suggestions? I'll try the plextor support forums also.
