Anyone got experience with bin/cue files?  Using a Toast trick can get to the MPG, but even VLC won't play it on the mac side, need to try it out on some PCs.

 

Added:

2002.05.xx : CTP (3 bin/cue)

2002.05.xx : Cinema (ep2a/b.mpg)

--Might be same as "starwars.ep2cd1&2.mpg"

Have a lead on another RotJ.

I had lots of experience with VCDs and SVCDs in bin/cue image format, but that was a long time ago now.

I don't think VirtualClone Drive will mount them, but Daemon Tools used to work. Similarly, not sure if ImgBurn can burn these images - at least not the 2-track, mode 2 type of image that (S)VCD used. Try Infrarecorder or Nero.

XBMC and Media Player Classic and its variants will play them fine. I've noticed that playback support on newer standalone players (and the PS3) has been dropped, but older players should have no problem with VCD (SVCDs however may be hit-and-miss).

If you want to get the video off the disc, for example to convert to something else, you need to be aware that the DAT files (MPG extension on SVCD) have some strange file headers. You need to use something like IsoBuster or VCDEasy to extract a pure MPEG file that you can work with. 

Also note - CTP is short for Centropy, so the relase you have added will be the same as Star.Wars.Episode.2.Attack.of.the.Clones.SVCD.TS-Centropy you have already listed. TS stands for TeleSync - no crowd noise! :-(
