Convert CUE to VCD

Understanding CUE and VCD file formats

CUE files are text-based files that describe the layout of tracks on a disc, often used in conjunction with BIN files to represent the contents of a CD or DVD. They contain metadata about the disc structure, such as track titles and start times.

VCD (Video Compact Disc) is a format for storing video on standard compact discs. It was widely used before DVDs became popular and is compatible with most DVD players and computers with the appropriate software.

How to convert CUE to VCD

Converting a CUE file to a VCD format involves extracting the video content described by the CUE file and then encoding it into the VCD format. This process typically requires specialized software that can read CUE files and output VCD-compatible video files.
