 |
|
How do I open those files you download from usenet, used with movies? I know they contain the cd image, and under windows I had isobuster for that. I have found vcdgear, but I'm not keen to use unstable stuff  |

mount the ISO image via the loop-back device: | Code: | su -
mkdir /mnt/loop
mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /mnt/loop
cd /mnt/loop |
Is this what you're looking for? |

| That's about it, but I have found out it's a large .bin file, and mount doesn't like it. Should I specifiy a special thing? Because it now just wants a filesystem type specified (I do have loopback support). |

usually you have two files, a .bin and a .cue file.
the .bin is the actual image, and the .cue file helps cd writing programs to correctly burn it.
once you have both files you can write them with
| Code: | | cdrdao write filename.cue |
provided both files are in the same dir.
do a man cdrdao to learn about more options (like specifying your cd writer device, speed etc.). cdrdao is part of the cdrtools package.

I do have those 2 files, but I don't want to write them. How can I just browse them? (I'm sorry if my question was not very clear) |

You can emerge this:
| Code: | * app-cdr/bchunk
Latest version available: 1.1.1
Latest version installed: 1.1.1
Size of downloaded files: 14 kB
Homepage: http://hes.iki.fi/bchunk/
Description: Converts bin/cue CD-images to iso+wav/cdr |
Then use it to convert your bin/cue to iso, and loop mount this iso as explain by compu-tom. |

You can open (if its a vcd/svcd) .bin files with mplayer. And it'll play fine. You can burn the bin/cue image with cdrdao, and maybe cdrecord (i just use k3b), or any frontend that utilizes it. You can also convert the bin/cue image to mpeg with vcdgear (in portage).
Good luck. |

This spits back an error message for me
| Code: | | mount: could not find any device /dev/loop# |
Anyone know why?
Thanks,

*doh* Thanks for helping me with the obvious. I must have forgotten loopback support when I configured my first 2.6 kernel haha
