cant play burned bin

[slinky]

used alcohol 120%, image burn, selected cue, used default settings and let it write. after it was finished i switched it to my cdrom drive and it wont read it at all saying something like it's not supported. i bust out isobuster and can read the bin file perfectly, so why can't i read my burned copy?

maybe you didn't select right format

[slinky]

which format should be used then?

does the bin file work with alcohol when u mount it on a virtual cd-rom drive?

[slinky]

works perfectly using the virtual drive also. any tips on what im doing wrong in the burning process?

*also tried the disc on a Win2k system and it reproduced the same error.

[slinky]

so.. anyone that has used alcohol 120 able to give me a little insight?

[VHockey86]

Well you could always convert the bin + cue into an ISO and burn it with nero....

I've never tried to actualy burn with alcohol, only use images virtually, so sry i cant help u there

Have you tried Blindwrite. It usually will write everything. I use it as a kind of last resort..http://www.vso-software.fr/products.htm

Blind write is pretty good, what format you writing in? Tao, Dao?
Dao is generally used, prefered to use anyhow.
If it were a dao created image, then burning it in tao would screw up the data when writing it.
It would be best you left it as bin cue rather than iso as bin cue is far superior than iso.

the setting in alcohol was set on "DAO/SAO" by default so i didnt bother to change it.. write speed was also already set to maximum.

fyi: it's my first attempt so i really need to know how to do it right
