    The .bin file should have a .cue file with it.
    Try going into Nero and select the .cue file first, then after a message, select the .bin file.

    Should be OK.

    - Alcohol 120%
    - Daemon Tools
    - WinISO
    - Nero


    All do the job, use image burning wizard and point to the file - it will then burn/extract the image to disc.

    In Nero specify to burn the CD image, and browse for the bin file. Then (this is from memory), it will say something like 'Burning an unknown image format'. Tell it to burn as Mode 2, and it should work.

    Yep, just looked it up! http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/how-to-burn-a-bin-without-a-cue-t231833.html
