I'll try to be newbie friendly here. =8)

UnRAR the archives to your HD, load CUE file in CDRWin/nero/fireburner/etc
& burn the disc image!  Some programs require the path to the BIN file listed
in the CUE file to be EXACT, so if your burning app says it can't find the BIN
specified in the CUE, you may need to open the cue sheet with a text editor &
replace "cdX.bin" with "X:\yourlocation\cdX.bin"  As a side note, there is a 
recovery record built into the archive, so if you get a bad download & a file
fails the MD5/SFV check, you can still most likely repair it in WinRAR, saving
the need to download the file again. 8)

To burn in Nero:
Goto File>Burn Image, select All Files from the drop-down, choose your
.CUE file, burn!

Play in any VCD / DVD player software, or any stand-alone
DVD unit that supports VCD *AND* CDR media.

Don't have any DVD software? Don't even have a DVD drive?
No problem, you can still play the disc with Windows Media Player.  Put the
disc in your drive, open Media Player, goto file>open, choose your cd drive
and select the MPEGAV directory, choose "All files (*.*)" from the drop-down
& open the AVSEQ01.DAT file. Sit back & enjoy!

--==< Further Info >==--

On December 31, 1999, during their NYE concert at the Theater of Living Arts
in Philadelphia, PA, the Disco Biscuits played an improvised score to
Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Akira.'  The pre-bisco-set filler I ripped & mixed from various
artists including Crystal Method, DJ Drew X, LOA, Ambient Floyd, as well as other
samples I can't remember right now.  Since some DVD players like to cut off 1-5
secs at the end of the disc, there are a few seconds of overlap between CDs so you
don't miss a beat.  The A/V syncro is as good as I could get from various *HAZY*
memories of the show.  I am not 100% pleased with the video stream but my
frameserver kept crashing & I've already spent weeks putting this project all
together & I'm tired so it's time to retire to my nughuffer, cocktails, &
Match Game '77 ... =8P
enjoy!
