 |
|
Hi, I downloaded it* today but have never used bittorrent before. I got the file, then downloaded WINRAR to open it. Then I opened the file using WINRAR. Now what?
*note- he's talking about "Farenheit 9/11" - Lemon* |

You likely had a few dozen files correct ?
Then you assembled them with WinRAR ?
What did you end up with after WinRAR finished ?
.avi ?
.mpg ?
.bin and .cue ?
avi and mgp can be played directly in a media player (windows media player etc)
a .bin and .cue file is a virutal image of a CD and need to be played with a program called VLC player or virtually mounted with a program called daemon-tools and then played via a media player
It depends on what you ended up with after the reassembly with WinRAR
Try just opening the new file (after WinRAR) with windows media player
And let us know |

I had the same problem. Downloaded a movie and then extracted it with Winrar and it came out as a .bin and .cue file. then I tried to burn it to disk as a vcd or svcd, but Nero would not let me because it did no support the file .bin. Whats up with this? Any help would be great. And one more question....Does VLC player work on .bin or .cue files.
Thanks everyone |

Nero does support bin files -- at least since the version 5 versions
You can't "open" it as a file though, it has to be burned via the burn disc image option |

I downloaded VLC player and it works great. Thanks for your help. However, I have all theses files(.bin) for the movies, like 30 or so, how do I put them back together so I can watch the movie in the correct sequence. Do I use winrar again. I don't understand whats up. Any help would be great...thanks.

If you download even the trial version of Alcohol 120% you can "mount" the image that the bin/cue files provide and actually use the file virtually without burning anything to a CD. This is a good solution if you are unlikely to ever use the software again or you just want to check it out to see that it is legit before you go simply produce yet another shiny coaster 
I've edited this post to add that Nero which is a much more common program can 'mount' other images of CDs but it cannot mount bin/cue files so far as I know. |
