Riping To Cd

when downloading program files off kazzaa not many of them are in zip form so if you download one of the other type of files then try to open it up and install the program onto the computer it dose not work.

Do all these files need to be burnt to cd first before it can be installed, these files are either Bin or iso, i read on one of these foums that you need to use Nero to burn them onto cd, is this the only way or can u still get zip files of the programs that work with out having to go thrugh the process of burning to cd.

Or is there a way of loading a bin or iso file stright onto you hard drive before installing the program.

Can some one help please dont direct me to some other page as its doin me headin trawling through all the pages tryin to find out the info

thanks

it depends on what the contents of the bin/cue and iso files are . for eg., most games bin/cue and iso will need to be burned to a cd or mounted onto a virtual drive (say,Alcohol 120's VD) in order to be played/used. but some other bin/cue and iso files contain a compilation of ,say, antivirus program files/folders and these files/folders can be extracted from the iso onto your HDD using tools like isoBuster,UltraISO,IsoCommander,WinISO to name a few.then you just find the setup.exe and run it. basically ,once you have the tools/softwares to enable you to manipulate the iso,bin/cue files that you download then you will be able to do almost anything you want with them.
see this also www.users.skynet.be/fa350126/img/binsisos.pdf

you can get zips and even the straight .exe files, i have, but i think thats kinda like playin roulette with my cpu (i'm just crazy enough to try it :lol: )(i always scan em before runnin em) its just not recommended too much to get progs off kazaa, from what ive read in this forum, and ive gotten enough bogus progs to lend those warnings some credit... :D (you could prorbably even run into bad zips and such also, its recommended more to try 'verifieds' as opposed to kazaa search)

Thanks for that konnie will give it a try when i'v read the document



Thank Steve :P

Can u only use nero to burn iso or bin cd's can it not be done using Roxio 5 also what about exe files.

You will have to forgive me for all the qestions but am new to all this and need step by step instructions on how to do things like this. but once i'v got the hang of it can help other pepole.

dont even waist your time burnning those boss, just get daemon tools, it gives you a virtual cd/dvd drive, you mount it to the drive and viola you are done under 2 minutes

use nero to burn your stuff, it should work fine.

Roxio works 1005 better, Nero is just sad. Sory, I dont like Nero.

Would you people please tell me why Nero is worse than EZ Coaster Creator?
Not liking the software is not a valid reason. <_<
And I&#39;ve told you that Coaster Creator can&#39;t burn BIN/CUE files (or any other foreign image type for that matter). That&#39;s why there isn&#39;t a pinned topic about it.
If you don&#39;t like Nero that much, at least give some good quality advice about other burning software like Alcohol 120% or BlindWrite. Not that coaster crap&#33;

If Nero stinks why do people at afterdawn, cdfreaks, cdrlabs and even the release groups recommend it?
Don&#39;t tell me they all work for Ahead&#33; :D

Oh yeah I almost forgot, the reason why Nero comes up with a new version every month is because they are always correcting the bugs reported by users.
Nero developers post at the CDfreaks forum and they actually listen to users complaints. If you find a bug in Nero, post it there and it will surely be fixed in the next release. This is why there&#39;s a new release every month.

Why doesn&#39;t Roxio do the same? Because all they really want is your money (I&#39;m talking about the people who really buy their products, not us filesharers :D ). They don&#39;t give a sh*t about what you would like to see implemented in their products. All they see is growing statistics. Roxio bought Coaster Creator from Adaptec because of name recognition, just like they are doing with Napster right now.

Both programs have their own flaws, but it&#39;s the attitude that makes the difference. ;)

@Radaday

Here is daemon-tools.
If you want to burn the files and don&#39;t want to use Nero, you can try Alcohol 120% or BlindWrite.
