(FN forum HELP section) for the idea to put tutorials up before the questions are asked. if you have a tutorial that can help others feel free to add it (if you want help or dont want to be bothered with the formatting BBcode , just PM me the info and ill format it and post it ).............__________

...........Burning BIN/CUE with Daemon tools and CloneCD
.............____________________________________________________ok heres the way i burn CUE/BIN , and its foolproof , no extracting anything
A.) whats needed : 1.) CUE FILE you can download the coresponding one or create one yourself , heres how :
.... a.) open a new TXT document using NOTEPAD
............. 1.) here is a generic CUE file for a standard VCD encoded movie
Code: |
FILE "EXACT FILE NAME of your bin file.BIN" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 MODE2/2352 INDEX 00 00:04:00 INDEX 01 00:06:00 |
............. 2.) for this procedure the
"EXACT FILE NAME of your bin file.BIN" must be just that . EXAMPLE: if you downloaded a file that is called
Ilad.uti.cd1.bin your cue should look like this
Code: |
FILE "Ilad.uti.cd1.bin" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 MODE2/2352 INDEX 00 00:04:00 INDEX 01 00:06:00 |
.... b) copy what is above and paste it into the new TXT document , making the necessary changes to the
"EXACT FILE NAME of your bin file.BIN" - note:you can put the path to the BIN file also ,but nevermind that for now
.... c.) save the new TXT document with the info you just entered into it as "Whatever.corresponding.name.that.you.can.remember.CUE" make sure that you save it as a
CUE or just put it on your desktop and rename it
.... d.) place your CUE that you have created into the same directory as the coresponding BIN file - dosent have to be this way but it is the easiest
2.) BIN FILE ....the BIN file is a
IMAGE - an image is an exact duplicate of data as appeared in the first place , in the VCD and SVCD world , the BIN/CUE is an easy way to distribute and burn a working copy of the movie ( think of the BIN as a ZIP file of sorts , whereby the compressed archive will not get corrupted as easy ) if you do it the way i am speaking of here . and by the way it is a scene standard for releasing SCR/TEL and the like
3.) Daemon-Tools - or D-tools
.... Daemon-tools is a tool for mounting the
image file ( the BIN havent you been reading ) . what Daemon does is create a
virtual drive in your Windows enviorment . It tricks Windows into thinking that you have an extra optical drive installed on your PC ( an optical drive is a CD-rom , DVD-rom , etc.... , you get the point if you dont start over ) . I guess you could say that Daemon-tools is an "
image mounter" - and is by far not the only one , but i love it still . you can get D-tools here
http://www.daemon-tools.com/ - go there and read about the proggie its free and awesome . also as a little sidebar here . Daemon-tools dosent use ant hard drive space to mount the image it just points Windows to the
image and makes it think that the contents are already on a CD in a drive ( the Virtual drive that is )
4.) Clone-CD .... Clone-CD is a tool that does exactly what it says , clone a CD from one drive to another , so now picture if you might an "
image" of a CD that windows thinks is in a drive that dosent exist , and a tools that can clone this image onto a CD . you cannot go wrong . you will get the finished product exactly the way it was meant to be gotten . you can get a demo version of Clone-CD here
http://www.elby.ch/ 5.) a blank CD-R - or a lot of em
B.) install Daemon-tools restart the PC and then install Clone-CD restart once again - just do it for these will ya C.) launch Daemon-Tools and : .... 1.) 'right click" the D-tools system tray icon
.... 2.) chose "options" and uncheck "autostart'
.... 3.) now 'left click" D-tools system tray icon
.... 4.) chose "Device
x" and give it a left click ( [x] being the drive letter that was assigned to your virtual drive )
.... 5.) now browse for your CUE file and chose it ( this is what tells daemon what and how to mount the
image .... 6.) viola , you should now be able to EXPLORE and see a drive that has the contents of the
image file
D.) insert CD-R - use a high quality one you cheap b@stard lol E.) launch Clone-CD .... 1.) chose "copy CD" -the 2 CD's icon
.... 2.) now select CD-reader ( your BIN mounted virtual drive )
.... 3.) write and read as "data"
.... 4.) chose your "CD-RW" drive
.... 5.) chose "max speed"
F.) watch your CD burn ___________________________________________________________________________________________
there is a lot of info in this forum about this and online , you can get some good CD-RW info here
http://www.cdfreaks.com - they got a good forum too
to see the contents of a BIN file i use "WinISO" , to create a BIN of VCD or SVCD Mpg or Mpeg files i use Nero or VCDgear , you can find links to those if you read the stickeys or search the donkey
this page is filled with META DATA for search purposes , if you search god bless you , if you dont you will be pointed here or ignored , these are by no means the only way to do this , there are other programs like "Alcohol" to mount with and WinCD ISObuster ,,, the list goes on . If you are having problems with this method please ask or PM , if you have anything to add feel free . Please no opinions , im trying to make a helpful post . if i made a mistake please let me know . and if i helped you just keep sharing
later
