2 x cue and bin files - how to make 1 dvd?

[slewis1972]

Ok - I ahve a film, made up of 2 cue and 2 bin files. OK - they work - as can mount them on my pc using ALcohol 120 as cdrom drives and they play ok.

But, can I combine them to one file and hence burn them to dvd so my sister in law can watch the film

Any ideas?

it sure should be possible... since i think your cue/bin files are actually svcds, i'd do some searching on svcd2dvd or take a closer look at the doom9 format conversion guides.

oh and i have to remind you of rule 6 - we cannot help concerned illegitimate material such as downloaded or illegaly copied movies!

Thanks for that.

Actaully the file is of tv film that was recorded onto pc from a friend in America so was thinking that was ok.

I will have a look at the guides.

VCDGear-www.vcdgear.com

AVI MPEG RM WMV Joiner-www.boilsoft.com

Copy to DVD-www.vso-software.fr

WinAVI Video Converter-www.winavi.com

1. Take VCDGear and convert the cue/bins to mpg.
(you can actually use the rar to bin/cue to mpg batch built in and it will uncompress the rars and then convert the bin to mpg.) (under 4 mintes for both files)

2. Now take the avi-mpeg joiner and join the two mpg files together. (about 2 minutes)

3. This step is what takes the time WinAVI Converter. Take the large mpg file that you made with the AVI-Mpeg joiner and convert it to DVD format. (usually under 3 hours). I let it convert while I am asleep.

4. Now you can use Copy to DVD or whatever you want to burn the files onto a dvd that can be played in most players.

@grumpyoldfart: while your method might work (haven't checked and will not) it seems like overkill to me. Pls keep in mind that the DVD format supports the VCD standard (and with some tweaking also the SVCD standard). so all you have to do is to extract the mpg's (maybe demux them) and then use the right program to simply author a dvd...

reencoding will only make the quality worse and take more time/resources. and reencoding with winavi is one controversial method anyway. if you want more info about that, simply search for winavi in the forum and you'll find a couple of threads that discuss the demerits of winavi (besides the fact that it is NOT free)
