For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If looking through the options of your CD writer (e.g. Nero) doesn't get you anywhere I'd try right click and "open with" and choose that same program. I do agree though that .bin files are often accompanied by .cue files. You may have to burn this file to a CD to convert it to a usable format (e.g. VCD)
In addittion to the 2 500mb BIN files, there are 2 .cue files,but they are empty.I have also tried changing the file extension,but it still did not work.I have now downloaded a program called SVCD2DVD,which seems to have done the trick because I can now play the file in Power DVD.I am just hoping that I can now burn the movie to disc.Thanks all very much for your advice.If you are wondering why my original question is under a different user name,it is because aps 1 is my wifes logon,and she was using the pc at the time.
