playing VCD file on computer

[S.I.]

I've spent hours picking through this fourm and can't find an answer to this problem.

I downloaded a VCD file with two CD's and I have tried everything to watch this file. I have the latest Nero, Windows Media player, Real one player, and power DVD. None of these can play the file.

I unzipped the first file in the list of maybe 60 little files and it spews out two big files. A bin file and a Cue file.

I've tried dragging and dropping, and I even tried to burn it to a cd and a dvd, neither worked. I obviously don't know jack about these things and I've been reading but have gotten nowhere. if sombody could please help me out or atleast point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciatet it.

thank you

where did you get this VCD file?

I downloaded it from another forum, it's a documentry. Does this make a difference?

The difference is mainly that downloads are at best, dodgy in performance or legality.
For some background info on the VCD standard, see www.videohelp.com/vcd.
For use on your PC I don't think you need to burn to media, just a hard drive folder.
