Playing compressed movies.

[Xenon14]

My friend has some rarred movie file: the problem is, rar created two files: *.bin and *.cue
bin is like 700 megs, and other one is small. What should he do in order to get it to play?

Those files are to burn with Fireburner or CDRWin. Then you watch the movie. If ya want you could use a program called Binchunker and extract the files to your HD and watch them from there.

I believe this is actually like an image that you're supposed to burn to a cd. Not sure about that though.

 

[Xenon14]

Where are those files, so he may download them?

 

[IamDavid]

You can get a DEMO version of CDRWin at www.goldenhawk.com and a demo of fireburner at www.fireburner.com. Not sure about the Binchunker app.

Just remembered, ISO Bster is a better program to extract the files to your HD with. Not sure where to get that one either.

Get vcdgear at vcdgear.com , get the 2.0final gui version. After that you can use it to extract the mpg from the bin/cue. I'm guessing this is a bootlegged vcd right 😀 ?

 

[Xenon14]

if he burn the bin/cue or .iso file onto a cd-rw, what can he use to watch the movie with?

 

[bigbootydaddy]

it will play as a vcd, aka any dvd software like powerdvd will work, or you could play it in vcd enabled standalone dvd players (in theory)

The bin is the movie. Its a big ol pile of 1's and 0's that when used in a cd burning program like CDRWin, comes out as a CD matching the origional from which the bin was made.

The cue points the burner to the bin. So say your bin is on c:/windows/desktop/pooptaco. The cue might read c:/movies/new or something. Just open up the cue in textpad, and point it to where the bin file is stored.

Pretty stupid system if you ask me, but ya gotta do what cha gotta do.
