In my experience, there area lot of "it depends on" in this kind of thing. It depends on what is actually in the image file (eg is it in DVD format video, VCD format video, avi, mpeg etc.)... it depends on if your DVD player can handle whatever is in the bin file...VCD, avi, mpeg etc or only DVD formatted disks.. and so on. My suggestion... look into the bin file and see what exactly is in there. There are some useful gui apps that can do this with iso, cue/bin and other formats via the context menu in you WM of choice (in the SUSE repositories)... or you can manually convert from cue/bin to iso and mount at command line (mount -o loop -t iso9660 needs an iso9660 formatted iso to work... and cue/bin (in my experience) needs to be converted to an iso before you can manually mount it). Once you know what you are dealing with, you can decide what needs to be done next... whether you need to convert the video to another format that your player understands... whether you can copy out the video and burn it direct as data... whether you can burn the converted iso direct to disk... and so on. Of course someone else here might have a better suggestion, but this method has always worked for me in the past. Now I have my TV connected to the PC and bypass the standalone DVD player altogether. Saves a lot of hassle :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
