Full Version: bin cue and vcd's (kvcd in this case)

KVCD is not my usual format, but I just found a few on an old computer. I used to use them since they would play back nicely in my Phillips DVD player and in the car.

Anyway, I checked and xbmc says it shold be able to play vcd's and the bin/cue format is readable. These files mount up ok with deamon tools and I can play the dat mpeg in them. But XBMC just plays a horrible noise and the screen never jumps to the player, it just sits at the menu screeching.

Pastebin says my file is too big, almost 2 mb..
but here is the probably pertinent info:

wrong format is detected so no surprise it creates crap. i don't think we ever supported vcd images
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Feature...ats/Codecs

Supported file/container formats:
  • SVCD and VCD (Video CD / CDXA) video, (SVCD/VCD menus are not supported yet)
  • MPEG, MPG, M2V formats (inc. VCD's .dat and .bin and DVD's .vob)

I realize of course that the wiki may be outdated, and that this format is very outdated...

I'll probably just strip the dats out and use them, but I wanted to report what I had found in case I was screwing something up.
ah right. that refers to the old mplayer.
If you can point out what version of mplayer xbmc is using I volunteer to work out it's supported formats and update that wiki page.
mplayer is no longer used (apart from on xbox)
Ahh, well I think it may be a problem on my part anyway, VLC is crashing when trying to play these as well so there must be something funny about em.
lol who the heck cares about vcd and svcd files Smile

I understand if it's some sorta home recorded familly movie or something
but then again u use a computer to convert them.

No one should use or care just like no one should use VCR's but... they are still around and some people do use and care.

The point being the original disk was long ago ruined by children, and these vcd's are all I got, and it's easy enough to mount them, copy out and rename the dat, but the wiki said it should work as a bin/cue so in the off chance there was a bug I wanted to report it.
