Forums mIRC Help file extension

once again im not sure if this is the place to post this or if there even is a place to post this...i went searching everywhere but cant seem to find it

what kind of file is a *.tar?

thanks

It's a compressed archive, you can use WinZip or WinRAR or
whatever to open it, I think even WinXP will open it actually.

doesnt for me, i have to use winrar/winzip

ok thanks i feel like an idiot...heh

ok, after 7hours of waiting i got what i wanted...sort of

it was supposed to a video but it was in .tar so i extracted it to desktop and it mad ea folder called "CD 1" so i clicked thinking it'll be in there, but all i see is weird files ending with .cue, .bin.etc... but no video file, am i doing soemthing wrong? i know i havent been cheated cuz alot of files on the site said .tar

bin is a binary equivelent of a cd. It is the exact replicate of the CD all rolled up into one file. The .cue is the file cd burning software (like Nero) reads to know how the file should be burnt.

If you have nero, look in the help on how to burn bin cue files. Usually, its a matter of going through the instructions and then select "burn image". From ther,e just select the file you want to burn. Again, all depends on the software.

i have nero, what your saying is to look how to burn a .bin to a cd?

Correct.

Since you have nero, you should have an item in your start menu (under "Ahead Nero") called "Nero Express". Run that, and in the list look for "Burn Image". From there, select the cue file and begin. The wizard should guide you right through it.

nowhere do i see "burn image"

ill tell ya what i see
