I do NOT vouch for the validity of the following statements. I will say that Bugs normally knows what he is talking about (or certainly acts like it :p) Check directly with Ahead software to verify.
: Is it possible to burn a bin cue with nero
It's possible, but it won't work properly. Here's why...
With XA multi-track bin/cue files, and ALL VCD/SVCD's are XA multi-track, Nero will ALWAYS short data Track 3 (technically, track 2) by 150 sectors. It's a known bug, and that's why even on the Nero website they tell you not to burn multi-track bin/cue files with it. Nero will burn a single-track bin just fine,tho. But ALL VCD's and SVCD's are multi-track.
VCD's contain sector addresses in the first track which point to the following tracks recorded for addressing the track starts in addition to the redundant information recorded in the TOC of the CD-ROM. SVCD's also make use of scan point tables, which contain sector addresses for playing time related access to the VBR mpeg-2 streams.
If the sector addresses become invalid, because the following tracks are not recorded as they were supposed to be, as in the case with Nero, some or all of the following effects may be experienced:
Entry points (chapters) will point to wrong locations or even outside the MPEG stream itself.
Fast forward/fast reverse operation may not work properly.
GOTO may not work properly.
MPEG tracks may not play at all, or the track may start at some place other than the beginning.
MPEG synchronization problems.
Or it plays just fine, but the chapters simply aren't there at all. or not all of them work.
This 150 sector shorting happens with all known versions of Nero, including the latest one. It's 100% reproducible. Taken an SVCD and burn it with CDRWin. Then burn it again with Nero. Compare the Table of Contents of each. Nero's will be short on Track 3.
