What to do with kvcd_compat.bin and kvcd_compat.toc ?
 

kwag,

What do I with kvcd_compat.bin and kvcd_compat.toc :?: I've burnt bins before but I usually have a .cue with it. Am I missing something?

Re: kvcd_compat.zip
 

Run VCDEasy and go to "TOOLS/CDRDAO Tools". There you'll find "Burn a CUE or TOC CD Image".

Re: kvcd_compat.zip
 

Looks good kwag. By the way, you may want to add a readme into your zip. I didn't know about the VCDeasy part because I had Nero and like most of us, we're not familiar with tocs. Though I figured it out, I had to edit the toc because I didn't have a k drive.

Thanks 2COOL,

I've made a note on the "What's New" section :wink:

fix for us Nero People
 

If any of you use Nero and you want to Burn and ISo, Cue, Bin ect. file. Then you need to get DaemonsTools. http://www.daemon-tools.com/ This is a great and easy proggy that lets you mount a fake drive with that file and just use CD Copy in Nero. It couldn't be easier! :D

Hi twobit326,

In fact it could...
I agree that DaemonTools is a great tool, but you don't need it to burn ISO and CUE/BIN images. Nero can burn them directly. :wink:

its also handy for previewing in a dvd player before burning

Hey Kwag,

The .toc file didn't work for me either- I ended up extracting each .dat and burned it that way.

I notice that the movement of the space shuttle isn't fluid- seems a little jerky. Am I imagining this or should this not have been IVTC'd?

thanks,
ren

Hi ren,

Yes, I did IVTC, but it was a crappy capture via S-Video :P
So it's not 100% fluid as it should have. Don't know why, because I've IVTC'ed captures just like that before and they looked perfect :roll:
Maybe it's the decomb.dll. I used the latest version. Version 4.0 I believe.

Previewing it in my PC, the ???x240 samples seem jerky while in the ???x480 the movement is smooth.

Hi rend,

Like 2COOL said, you have to edit the TOC file.
It's a text file, so you can open in any text editor.
Extract the ZIP in the root of your C:, then edit the TOC end replace K:/ with C:/.
That's it. :wink:

Wassup muaddib,

I know you know what your doing but there are others who might have problems with just replacing K:/ with C:/.

For people out there just learning, right click the kvcd_compat.toc and Open with... notepad. But remember to uncheck "Always use this program to open this file."

Once you're inside you'll see 11 of these in quotes: "K:/kvcd_compat.bin"

Just put the correct path into all instances of "K:/kvcd_compat.bin".

Example: My kvcd_compat.toc happened to be in my D:/KVCD/kvcd_compat.bin directory. Yours is going different of course. So I replaced all "K:/kvcd_compat.bin" with "D:/KVCD/kvcd_compat.bin". Save .toc and open in VCDeasy.

Soo, it's just not the drive letter we have to change but the path also.

hey,

I don't know why the .toc file doesn't work after I edit it with the right path to the .bin (I know you guys meant to use back slashes :wink:) I get this error in vcd easy:

ERROR: D:\My Documents\video tools\KVCD\kvcd_compat\kvcd_compat.toc:7: Illegal token: \
ERROR: D:\My Documents\video tools\KVCD\kvcd_compat\kvcd_compat.toc:7: Illegal token: \
ERROR: D:\My Documents\video tools\KVCD\kvcd_compat\kvcd_compat.toc:7: syntax error at "EOF" missing EndString
ERROR: D:\My Documents\video tools\KVCD\kvcd_compat\kvcd_compat.toc:7: Illegal token: \

well, I'm glad all the samples play fine with my sony dvp-nc600- Damn, I love this player- I've never gone wrong with a sony! :twisted:

rendalunit,

I actually copied and pasted that path right from my modified toc. Just for curiosity purposes, I went back and did one line with backward slashes and I got the SAME exact error as you. You gotta use forward slashes to make it work.

I like my Sony when I'm watching real DVDs but it only plays compliant VCDs.

Hmmm...going back to my previous post, something looked wrong when I read it again. :?

Where the line reads...Example: My kvcd_compat.toc happened to be in my D:/KVCD/kvcd_compat.bin directory.

That should've read Example: The path to my kvcd_compat.bin is D:/KVCD/kvcd_compat.bin

That sounds better. :D

Or just burn the .bin with Nero. Just make sure to burn as MODE-2.

-kwag

That's why I said "extract the ZIP in the ROOT of your C:" :!:
I was trying to make it as simple as possible. :wink:

I got it to work now-- I used forward slashes (that's weird because paths usually use backslashes don't they :!: ).

Kwag, the 544x480 plays fine on my player- I didn't think that res would work 8O Does that work on the sony ns300 too?

thx,
ren

kwag-

i burned the bin file in nero under mode 2 and it works fine on my computer but not in either of my dvd players. the menu comes up on the players but when i select a number to play it doesn't react. i have an apex 1200 and panasonic rv31. any ideas? i tried vcdeasy and it wouldn't work with my win 2000 setup so i figured the nero idea was the best thing for me to do.

thanks!

I have exactly the same problem on my Sony DAV-S800 as you know Kwag :)

When I initially put the CD in it shows NTSC PBC on the display. Tried stopping it after seeing the backdrop and tried selecting a track to play or even going up and down the tracks but when I select one to play it says:

Disc is Dirty
