Help With .bin File

[Protoss]

I just downloaded like 50 .bin files of a movie from a newsgroup, and im not sure what do to next to be able to see the movie.

Do i have to burn those file to be able to view it?
there is no .cue file from where i downloaded.
Is ther a way to view the movie without burnining?This is my first time downloading on newgroups.

A .bin file is a CD image. That means that a whole CD was copied into just one big file.
A file type similar to .bin is .iso.
These files are meant to be burned onto CDs in order to get an exact copy of the CD from where the .bin or the .iso file was created (some CDs have copy protections and the image burning won't be enough, so you'll be given a crack too, to run the game or application).
You'll need the .cue files to burn the .bin files, but don't worry if you don't have them. You can also burn them without the cues.
If you're going to burn a .bin file make sure both the .bin and the .cue are in the same directory.
I recommend using Nero to burn the CD images.First of all, use CDmage and check the image file for errors.
Then open up Nero.
Go to 'File' > 'Burn Image...'
Choose the .cue file that corresponds to the .bin file you want to burn, and click on 'Open'.
Choose the burning options and burn the CD.

If you don't have the .cue files, go to 'File' > 'Burn Image', choose the .bin file (not the .cue) and click on 'Open'.
A window will popup saying 'Foreign image settings'
Make sure the 'Type of Image' is 'Data Mode 1' and the 'Raw data' box is checked.
Click on 'OK', choose the burning options and burn the CD.

If you don't want to burn the files you can always use virtual drives to emulate a CD drive (Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120% are the best), mount the image files, install the game and run it. All of this from your hard drive.

You can also try a program like WinISO or IsoBuster to extract the files from the .bin or. iso and run the files from your harddrive.

You mean you downloaded like 50 .rar files of a movie and not .bin files, right?

[Protoss]

yeah 50 rar file .

but im gonna unrar them and ill get 50 .bin files

[DataMore]

No you won't.
Just make sure all the .rar files are in the same folder and then only unrar the first one.
You will get one big .bin file.
That's your movie.
You can then extract the contents of that .bin file to your hard drive if you want, or just burn it onto a CD.
Read what Shinigami posted above for more information.
