JohnthePilot Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) I have been sent a .bin file, but when I try to open it in ImgBurn it says invalid or unsupported image file format, yet ImgBurn looks for .bin files when I search for the file to burn to DVD. Any suggestions would be appreciated. These are the contents of my log file: I 13:49:36 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!I 13:49:36 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Edition (6.1, Build 7601 : Service Pack 1)I 13:49:36 Total Physical Memory: 8,387,064 KiB - Available: 4,454,576 KiBI 13:49:36 Initialising SPTI...I 13:49:36 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...I 13:49:37 -> Drive 1 - Info: LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1L BL06 (I:) (ATA)I 13:49:37 Found 1 DVD±RW/RAM Edited April 11, 2014 by JohnthePilot
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 What is it meant to be of? Maybe it's not any sort of valid disc image.
JohnthePilot Posted April 11, 2014 Author Posted April 11, 2014 It's firmaware for a camera, so I imagine it's an .exe file. I've been in touch with the manufacturers and am waiting for an answer from them.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Please post a link to the firmware update if possible so I can take a look myself.
JohnthePilot Posted April 13, 2014 Author Posted April 13, 2014 Many thanks for your reoly. First, let me say that I've managed to run the file. I discovered that the existing software has an update option that uses the .bin file. I would still be interested, however, to know why I can't see what's in the file. In additon to Imgburn I also tried Magicdisc, and that failed as well. The link is http://apps.tenvis.com/Download/JPT3815W/2013/firmware/x.4/IPC_V1.8_V1.7.25.zip
Ch3vr0n Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Oh please, ya don't need imgburn to open it or vcd to mount it. Firmwares are usually a special type of bin files. Check the instructions on the cameras manufacturers site. All u usually need to do is put the bin file on the root of the memory card and flash it from inside the the camera
