Step 5 Task: Now you convince your computer that the extracted movie files are a virtual CD or DVD disc.
How:
- Launch the Daemon Tools software.
- A red or green lightning bolt icon will appear at bottom right of your screen in the Windows clock tray.
- Right click on this Daemon lightning bolt icon, and choose the first “virtual drive” letter you have available. Usually this is G:. Then choose “Mount Image”. Choose a drive letter of your choice… the letters themselves are arbitrary and are just a code pointer to name your virtual drive.
(tip: to view multiple movies, set your emulator to have 3 or 4 virtual optical drives. 1 drive can play 1 .bin/.cue file movie, 2 drives can play 2 .bin/.cue file movies, and so on.)
- Browse using the resulting File dialog box to point to the .cue file you extracted a few minutes ago.
- Within a few moments, another dialog will ask you what to do with that .cue file. Choose “Open folder to view files”.
- Within another few moments, you are likely to see another dialog box named “G:”, and four folders with names like this: EXT, MPEG#, SEGMENT, and VCD2. This dialog box means that Windows sees the files as if they were a CD or DVD.
- Open the MPEG# folder, and you will find the primary move file in .avi, .mpeg, or .dat format.
