I've got a couple of shows that I would like to be able to play in MC that are currently .bin/.cue CD images.  These are VCD images and burning them and playing them on my DVD player is a hassle.  Is there any way to play them directly or convert them into a format playable from my PC (not from a CD)?

I don't know about playing them in Media Center, but I know of a (free) program called vcd gear that will (quickly) convert your .bin/.cue files to mpeg and/or .dat. Should do the trick.

The BEST player (most versatile) out there is the VLC player.........its a freeware. You can d/l it from
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

and play the .bin/.cue files directly. You dont have to mount the imagine or any of that long process, unless ofocurse you want to back it up

It plays all kinds of files, lots of extensions that other players dont even recognize.

First use it, and then u can thank me

Cheers!

VLC Player -- PERFECT!  I had just completely forgotten the name.  (A friend told me before the forum got back, but that is ok).

Now, this leads to the all important question:  Can MC be modified to import .bin/.cue groupings and use the VLC Player to play them internally ??

Why do you need MC to do it internally ?

Browse to where your vids are and Send To->Send To (external)->VLC player.

It might even be possible to cue up several but you would need to play with batch files for that.
