you can burn it with nero which will prolly get you a VCD

or you can download vcdgear (www.vcdgear.com) and extract the mpeg from the bin file.

what show?

Yeah but how much did you pay for the CDR, .005 or .01 cents come on CDRs are so cheep now adays I don't mind a bad burn or something I will never look at again, For instance I buy 100 to 200 CDRs a week becasue I am constantly burning.

How do you afford that? 100-200 a week is a lot!

Not really when you figure you are paying about $10 for 100 or sometimes even less, you just have to have to want to spend the money I guess.

At least when you buy CDRs that are on sale and really don't have any one particular brand that you buy, but have a number of brands that you are willing to buy. For instance last week Office Max had a fifty pack of generic CDRs for sale that looked like crap so I did not touch them but Circuit City had a BOGO on Maxell CDR 50 packs for $10 and CompUSA had 50 TDK for $3, which are both brands that I usually will use. Then Best Buy had 100 Phillips CDRs for $10 and 50 TDK for $5 this week plus there are still other stores out there with offers. You just have to look for them when they come up.

its not really the $$, its the time and the waste of a cdr i could have been using for something else. of course i only use fuji's to burn my movies so its more like .10 c and i don't have a ton of fuji's lying around.

Well then I see your quagmire. I personally have never used Fuji's, probabally because I hardly ever see them on sale plus I have a 4x burner and I know it takes forever to burn so I can see why you might not want to wait to have it done.

you have to rename the directory in the .cue file to the directory the bin file is currently in, check out www.vcdhelp.com for more info.
