BIN and CUE files are two types of files that comprise the whole of the second-most common type of image file--the most common type being the ISO file. Image files are, in essence, a virtual copy of a physical CD or DVD that has been placed on a computer's hard drive through the use of an image file creating program like IMGburn or Nero Burning ROM. Burning a BIN and CUE file combination back onto a blank disk is simply a matter of using those same kinds of programs to write the files onto the disk. Best of all, most popular programs used to burn image files onto disks are free to download and install.

Step 2
Launch IMGburn and select the "Write image file to disk" option when prompted.
Step 3
Click the "Browse" button and locate the CUE file on your hard drive. Select this as the "Source" file. The BIN file contains most of the data for the image file, but the CUE file is the one that tells the burning program how to write it to the blank disk, essentially.
Step 4
Insert a blank disk into your CD/DVD-R/RW drive. If the combined size of the BIN and the CUE files are over 700MB, the disk should be a DVD. Otherwise, use a CD.
Step 5
Select the drive containing the blank disk as the "Destination" in IMGburn, then click the large "Burn" button at the bottom of the screen. IMGburn will now write the BIN/CUE files to the blank disk.
