    Nero9 doesn't let me burn BIN files. It's not a supported format, but CUE files are. I follow: Recorder>burn Image>select files (but none of the BIN files come up). Is there another way of burning these files or a way to make BIN files supported?

    Bin files, unlike other files such as .exe, .wpd, .doc, .xls etc don't have an actual program used to open them specifically. A .bin file is sort of a universal file for binary file. So it can be anything from a rom for an emulator, to image/sound data for a game.

    The .cue part of the file that Nero is picking up is the template ,for want of a better word, that puts the bits of .bin file together in a meaningful way.

    If you want to burn just the .bin files you'll miss out on the .cue which can be important. If its an image or something like that of a DVD say, then Nero 'should' burn it correctly if you just select the .cue files to burn.

    If not - then you'll need to change the format. Try running it through Nero Vision and making the output file an image (iSO)
