If u want 2 watch the movie on ur comp u do NOT have 2 burn it.

u can watch it with Windows Media Player

and if its a .bin/.cue file u can watch it with
VideoLan (http://videolan.org)

open the disc in media player, go into the mpegav folder, select "all files" in the file type combo box, and then select the avseq or sumthing file

u do have 2 rename it bcuz in that folder is a .dat file and then u drag the .dat file on ur desktop or where ever u want 2 put it and u rename the .dat 2 .mpg if u want 2 watch it in Windows Media player or wut ever u want 2 watch it with and if u want 2 watch it with VideoLan u can simply drag the .dat file into VideoLan and it&#39;ll play ;)

not true, before I knew the wonders of videolan I could always play the .dat from the mpegav folder in mpc or wmp
in fact I did it so much I associated ..dat&#39;s with wmp so i could just click it, but videolan is much better

The only thing I HATE about VidoeLan is when the movie is playing and when i move the video box the one that is show the picture is that the movie looks like a Rainbow so i have 2 restart the movie :angry:

just found the solution. :D use their newest beta version: 0.7.2-test2 on this (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html) page. it fixed all problems for me like moving the video and making it fullscreen.

now videolan rules. B)
