So, I've got a *.bin and a *.cue file.

How do I got about making this into a VCD, and fitting it onto a 700MB CD? I know I sound like an idiot, but when it comes to VCDs, I am!

Thanks in advance.

Uhhh have you tried burning the .Bin and .Cue to a disc?

But then that cd will only work on his PC.. I think he wants to make a CD that works on a DVD/VCD player...

Maybe the .bin and .cue are image files for a VCD though.

Yep, looking to make a disc that works on my DVD player...

Again burn the .Bin and .Cue file to a cd and put it into your DVD player. If it doesn't play then your DVD player can't handle the encoding.

Both files add up to 700MB+, though. Is there a reason for this? Will Nero compress it when it burns?

the bin file should already be good to go as far as being in the vcd format. just burn it like you would anything else. also, there are more factors to it not working in your dvd player than just encoding. some dvd players have issues with types of cdr's... i'd also recommend burning a slower speed than usual, as i've heard that helped in situations (though im not entirely sure why)

converting a movie to a vcd format is a different story.. thats where it gets really tough. it requires drag and drop abilities within a program like nero.

there is room for overburn on a cd, if its just a bit over 700, its fine. if its a bin file, it should burn fine.

 

[btrboyev]

video cd's can go over the 700mb limit

just use your cd burning program and sue the burn image option and point to the cue file

It will fit on a 700 MB CD. Have no clue why, but I even had tons of 800+ MB cue/bin fit w/o overburning. Not sure why. Maybe, Windows sees the file incorrectly. Also, usually, people put files into cue/bin so you don't have to convert/add anything which makes it extremely easy to burn/use. If you want to extract the video file w/o burning it, you can use VCDGear, http://www.vcdgear.com/download.html.

 

[btrboyev]

video cd's do not use error protection so no error correction space is taken up on the cd.

Just did a quick test. Extract a 825 MB cue/bin file and got a 814 MB SVCD mpg file. Using Nero's SVCD burn option, the file becomes only 700 MB before burning.

Is there a software that converts *.avi (or is it *.xvid for fansubs?) files into video CDs? I might use it to play anime fansubs on my DVD player. (I tried just burning them but they wouldn't play )

VCD/SVCD are based on minutes not MBs

 

[Ecrofirt]

if you're using Nero, select Burn Image To Disc

select the cue file. Tada!

Huh? In Nero, the bottom bar shows 0 - 825MB.

Thanks for all the help guys! The burn worked perfectly.
