I need help ( burning a .bin file)

Ok i just downloaded 1408 and it is a .bin file. It comes with instructions on useing nero to burn it. Would someone please tell me how to burn it with dvd shrink or some other program that is free or offers a free trail ? Nero is very expensive.

I wasn't aware of that, good to know.

Talking about .BIN files.
I know IMGBurn doesn't support audio CD's, but do you know if it is will output a good VCD?
It will burn the VCD bin file without complaint, but they won't play in my machines (or the PC)

 

.bin is just an image file like iso,nrg,img etc.
Imgburn is just burning the image file, if the backup don't work then i would look at the program that made the image file for the problem.

Imgburn can burn these files




I've just decided that i should not say something that i have never done, give me 10 minutes and i will try it.

OK it works beautiful, if you use the build option it will not work.

Just drag and drop the .bin file onto the imgburn icon/shortcut and click on the write button.

 

I burned with IMGBurn, the files are on the CD, but the PC media player and my standalone players reject it.
I erased the CD, and burned with Nero - it works...baffled!


Edit:
Here, i just found this.Straight from the horses mouth.

I just done it and it works, do you want a video tutorial of me doing it to show you?

 

I have burned them 'successfully', but they still don't work, but I'll take the tutorial..

 

Give me 10-15 min and ill make it.

EDIT:

It took longer than i thought but here it is

That post from lightning is over a year old.

 

Stll no luck.
I see the files on the disk, but my players won't play it.(my Panasonic stops functioning and has to be powered off/on to release the disk).Yet when I burn the same (RW) disk with Nero, it's fine.
I sacrificed a regular CD-R and the same symptoms.

 

Sorry i have no clue.

I tried it with 2 different blanks asus 12x CD-RW, liteon 8x CD-RW

on all my burners Pioneer 112d, pioneer 212, asus 1608p, liteon 451s all with 100% success.

 

Nero uses the cue file and has two tracks, IMGBurn has one track.
Nero burned VCD works on my machines, IMGBurn doesn't and I picked the two standalone players that IMGBurn VCD's will not work.
I should be buying lottery tickets.

 

ok i have the file converted and on a disc. Just have not tried it in my stand alone player yet.
