bin and cue are usually burnt to cd.
Is it a game or film?

So, was that the problem to you alcohol thread, using DVD instead of CD? :)

You can use programs like DVDSanta to convert VCD to DVD. They have a free trial, but it will show "demo version" on the output files. http://www.dvdsanta.com/

Why do you want to put it on a dvd?

Bin files can be burnt onto a cd and watched on a dvd player.

What is the file you've got, is it a film or game and how big is it?

If it's a film then it will already be either vcd or svcd.

Yes, you can burn a bin file into the VCD(video CD) format.
Some(a lot really) DVD players don't play that format.

You can easily use a program(such as IsoBuster) to extract the .mpg file from within the .bin file.
Then just use your favorite DVD program to create a DVD-format file from it.

www.videohelp.com will help you figure out which programs will work best for you.

It really isn't that difficult.

Here's the problem, you are going to take a file that was shrunk from dvd size to cd size and reexpand it to dvd size again. You are going to drop two points in quality in the process and if the vcd is 25 frames per sec and your dvd player is ntsc it won't play the dvd anyway and you will have a coaster. If your going to chance a coaster better off doing it to cd. Right click the cue file and select open with nero and burn the file at 8x speed or less and try and play it on the tv. I don't know why but my dvd player will not play 25 frames dvd but it will play 25 frames vcd's. If you insist on dvd at least get a copy of gspot and check the frames per second to make sure its compatible with your player (25frms = PAL and 23 or 29frms = NTSC).
