You mean as in to make the CD_Image_file_CD1.cue and bin into (Movie_title).cue and bin?

The cue files are easy - you can name them anything you like. The bin files are not much harder. Rename the cue and bin files as you wish, then open the cuefile by dragging and dropping into Notepad. The first line of the cue file will have the name of the bin file it relates to in quotation marks. Insert your new filename (has to be exactly correct) between the quotation marks and resave the cue file.

It should now work. First time you do this it is probably worth backing up the cue files to another folder beforehand in case you screw anything up.

thanx for your reply, didn't expect it so soon, this is great!but is there a way to name the que & bin files in tmpge or dvd2svcd or whatever program does the actual conversion?
what i am trying to avoid is... exe if i am doing the lord of the rings trillogy i don't want to end up with CD_Image_File_CD_1 thru 3 three times over then i would be all confused as to which one goes with which movie, i have to attempt to stay organized or i am lost.
thanx again for your reply

@Jeremy42171,

You might want to try folders and sub folders to stay organized. Just create one folder for each movie (select "Default output folder" on the Misc tab before loading the IFO).

Also, define the subfolders (suggested names are good enough) so your movie folder doesn't get too cluttered.

Did any of that was useful? I have another idea if still interested.

Well, let us know...

I also have one...
Using a simple bat file with parameters (CD number, CDlabel ) in Finalize tab. But I didn't try to change the bin filename inside the cue file with a DOS command. AFAIK, some kind of trick is needed, there is no "sed" command like in UNIX... Sure you have a clever solution.

@jsoto,

You stole the words from my mouth. It's pretty easy though and not too clever. The trick is to use a "tail" command port. ;)

But I guess jeremy found something more interesting to do. :D

actually i have just been changing the name of the bin & cue file after the conversion, i just got in the habit of changing them and putting them in folders before i move onto the next project and it's not too bad, thank you everyone for your input
