Please help another .bin question?

Hey all,
I know a .bin file is ment to be burnt to cd along with a .cue file. I also know about the whole isobuster program for hosting .bin files on an imaginary drive so if its a film you can watch it or your comp without having to burn to cd.

But what i'm wondering about is what do i do if i have a .bin file for a computer game say but the file size is over 700mbs so i cant burn it to cd?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

Theoretically, a bin file of around 810MB (and probably more) can fit on a standard 700MB cd, providing that you
a)have the cue file
b)your burner allows overburning (albeit, this one isnt exactly necessary)

Ive had plenty of files over 700MB fit on a standard 700MB cd, aslong as you have your cue file there should be no problems..

Size on disk, and actual size of a file are displayed on your computer. And most files will be larger when on a hard drive than when on a cd, not sure why exactly. Anyway as the man above said, overburn means that it shouldnt be a problem.

If the file is stupidly large u might hav eto invest in some larger cds. Or it might have been ment to be burned onto a dvd

So is nero the best for that kind of thing then?

Posted by AussieTrance on Jul-05-2003 22:30:

Yeah, I use Nero, but other programs like CDRwin (whatever its called) should be sufficient..
