Default I'm such a n00b - need help with .bin and other image files

Ok - I have been using the Daemon-Tools route to mount and play image files in Media Portal. My question is: is there a way to play them within the native MP interface - along with correct menus etc.?

Thanks for helping me out!

Ok - since this topic is not too popular, maybe I should ask:

How do I get cdxa.exe working in Media Portal - does it mount/read images like .bin/.cue?

TIA.

Back to your original question isn't there a tool in MP that will integrate daemon tools and mount images for you?

Hi,

Fretbuzz are you talking about SVCD images? Do they play properly in WMP (with menus, etc.)?

I can play SVCD's with menus in WMP (I use VLS player actually ..) if extracted from the image file, but I can't play them in Media Portal unless first mounted by Daemon Tools.

Try downloading vcdgear. It allows you to convert the image file (cue + .bin) to mpg which you can play through MP.

The link is http://www.vcdgear.com

I have used this and it works well and is very fast.

That's exactly what I want to avoid - I thought there was a way to mount images using cdxa.exe .. am I wrong?

You can. You will still need Deamon tools installed and you will need to confiugure the deamons tools part in the configuration/general.
look here for more information.
In my case (if I remebered correctly) it was usefull to add .bin in the movie extension list, contraire to what the wiki says. Try playing around with that one.
Once working, it will still use Deamon, but you won't see it.

Really? Because I configured Daemon to use it, but it pops open the "mount image" dialogue first .. so it DOES play in MP natively then? ..

Thanks again.
