macuser trying to convert bin to mpg

Downloaded golden compass with an 800Mb bin file and a 5kb cue file. I've used both commands:
vcdgear -bin2mpg goldcomp.bin goldcomp.mpg
vcdgear -cue2mpg goldcomp.cue goldcomp.mpg

But no luck. says: Source file could not be opened or accessed.

Any ideas. I'm not very familiar with using terminal and unix commands

i may not be helpful but i always used a program called SVCD2DVD by "chrissy boy", when converting bin/cue files although i used it on a windows os, it may be available in a mac platfrom,

there is a forum link on the SVCD2DVD web site where you can talk to chrissy boy - he is the god of conversions.

also, nero (if available for mac) does a good job of bin/cue files too.

I'm more curious as to WHAT you've downloaded cos 800mb isn't big enough for The Golden Compass unless it's been re-encoded into a wacky format at a shitty bitrate, like KVCD or something even more stupid or it's an xvid file - and xvids don't come as a bin/cue. This is probably why you can't open it as well. Try and find a "proper" scene release of it instead of something that's been messed with and you're rockin'

Have a look for this release (but DON'T ask us where to get it, even via PM, we can't and wont help you find illegal stuff): The.Golden.Compass.DVDRip.XviD-BeStDivX

Presumably there's plenty of xvid viewing/burning software on the Mac... The way you fucking owners bleat on about em, it better have
