Take your pick m8. You can burn with Nero, Alcohol 120%, DiscJuggler and a slew of other apps. :)

Yep, most burning apps will do .bin / .cue files, just tell it to open an image file (you may have to use the drop down menu to be able to access bin/cue files). Load the cue and burn away :p

You can also mount them with a virtual drive if you dont want to use a CDR but want to play/watch the game/film

Would this be the same principal for a ps2 game?... was going to ask in the ps2 forum, but seeing as the question appears the same, i thought i would be better posting here?
Tried burn it with Nero 6 onto dvd, but just made myself a lovely set of matching coasters up to now :(

yes m8, its the same for any format of game, a set of bin/cue files is just the image recorded from cd

for nero 6 you want to follow this

recorder---> burn image

then locate the .cue file and load that

burn away

i tried that (many thanks for the help), and everything went fine until i was ready to click the burn icon.
The bit (top left) where you select dvd or cd formats is stuck to cd and is grayed out although i can burn standard dvd's??? ANy idea how i can alter this at all please? I have the disc in and ready....tried different brands of disc and restarted the computer...no joy.

Will this then be a vcd?

Well is your image a VCD? The results will be whatever the image is. If you have a BIN/CUE of a VCD then when you burn it you will get a VCD. Also means you should have posted this in the VCD forum.

If you want to get into the details, best to start a new post in the PS2 section. Sounds like you have a slight problem. :D

from my experience the reason that, that box was greyed out because it was a CD image so it cant be burned to dvd discs

Thanks for your help up to now anyway :)
