I'm not sure what kind of movie you have but a .tar file is just like a zip file. You need to use a program like WinRAR to unzip it.

I downloaded a movie from mIRC to and it was in 2 CD and each of them had alot of .tar files and in the .tar files I found a .bin and a .cue in almost everyone of them.
The .tar files is very small like 15 MB each of them but if you unpack 1 of them,it takes much space like mine did (450 MB).

So if you have a .bin and a .cue file in one of the .tar in CD1 and CD2,then you have to choose 1 of them and extract it to some place and then you can use Nero and burn the .cue which points to the .bin.

There is also a program which can do it instead of burning it to cd so you dont have to waste a cd but I forgot the name of it.


And use WinRAR to extract the .tar

You can use any virtual drive for example deamon tools (http://web1.athen215.server4free.de/daemon_tools.htm)
