I have 4 DVD's with over 160gig of compressed files which need to be converted to bin files, to make music cd+g. The software I require is on the dvd already. Can anyone please give me a step by step guide on how to do this

Can you tell us what this software program is called

It depends entirely upon what tool has been used to compress them. There must be at least 20 commonly-used compression formats out there, and you need to know which one.
If the files have a .zip extension, then Winzip will probably extract the content (Win XP/Vista may even be able to do it natively). If the files have a .exe extension then they may be self-extracting archive which you can just run (though you need to trust the source if you do this).
BTW, what's cd+g?0 -

It is mp3 and g tools and winrar. Not sure if I need to download anything else.0 -
you will probably use winrar to extract the contents of the dvd's to your hard drive, they may even need further unpacking until you get to the binaries, every binary file will have a cue file with the same name that has the disc recording info, you will either have to 'mount' the cue file using alcohol 120% or something similar, or use nero or similar to burn the cue file to disc (burn image, browse and select cue file).
this will give you access to the contents.0 -
