What You'll Learn
Create a CUE file
To create a CUE file, you will need to open Notepad or a similar text editor. Enter the following lines:
FILE "filename.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Be sure to change "filename.bin" to the name of the BIN file you are trying to burn. Keep the quotation marks in place. Save the file to the same folder as the BIN file. The CUE file should have the same name as the BIN file, but with a .CUE extension.
For example, if your BIN file is named "example.bin", your CUE file should be "example.cue".
To save with the .CUE extension, click "File" and then "Save As". Click the "Save as type" drop-down menu and select "All Files". Now, you can add the .CUE extension.

Open Notepad and enter the file name
To create a BIN file in Alcohol 120, you will need to create a CUE file if you don't already have one.
Open Notepad and enter the following lines:
> FILE "filename.bin" BINARY
> TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
> INDEX 01 00:00:00
Change "filename.bin" to the name of the BIN file you are trying to burn, ensuring that you keep the quotation marks. Save the file to the same folder as the BIN file, naming the CUE file exactly the same as the BIN file, except with the .CUE extension.
Now, open Alcohol 120% and load the image file. Depending on the program, you may need to load the CUE file or the BIN file. Once the image file is loaded, the program should display a readout of how much space the image will take up on the disc.
This process is necessary because BIN is an outdated format, so only older programs fully support it.

Save the CUE file
To save the CUE file, open Notepad and enter the following lines:
FILE "filename.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Replace "filename.bin" with the name of the BIN file you are trying to burn. Be sure to keep the quotation marks. Save the file to the same folder as the BIN file. The CUE file should have the same name as the BIN file, but with a ".CUE" extension.
For example, if your BIN file is named "myfile.bin", your CUE file should be named "myfile.cue". To do this, click File > Save As. Then, click the "Save as type" drop-down menu and select "All Files". After that, give the file a .CUE extension.
Now that you have created the CUE file, you can proceed to open your CD/DVD burning software. Load the CUE file or the BIN file, depending on the program you are using. Once the image file is loaded, you should see a readout of how much space the image will take up on the disc. Finally, click "Burn" and test the disc.

Open your burning program
Once you have created a CUE file, you can open your burning program. As BIN is an outdated format, only older programs fully support it, especially when it comes to multitrack BIN files. Popular programs that support BIN files include CDRWIN, Alcohol 120%Nero.
After opening your chosen burning program, you will need to load the image file. Depending on the program, you may need to load the CUE file or it may ask for the BIN file. You should then see a readout showing how much space the image will take up on the disc.
If you are using Windows 8 or OS X, you can use the built-in virtual drive software. However, you will first need to convert the BIN file to an ISO file. Programs such as WinCDEmu will place an icon in your System Tray. Right-click on the icon and select 'Mount Image' from the menu. You can then browse the CUE file on your hard drive. Remember to keep the BIN and CUE files in the same folder.
Once you've found the CUE file, load it to mount the image. After the image is mounted, your computer will act as if a physical disc has been inserted. Autoplay may open, or you might be asked what you want to do with the disc. The messages you receive will depend on the contents of the disc and your system settings. You can then use the image file just as you would a CD or DVD.

Load the image file
To load an image file in Alcohol 120%, you will first need to open the Alcohol 120% application. On the left side of the application's main screen, you will see the menus. Click on the "Image Burning Wizard" link to initiate the process.
Once you have clicked on the "Image Burning Wizard", the Image Finder screen will appear. Here, click on the "Browse" button to open the File Browser. Use the File Browser to search through your hard drives and locate the image file you wish to burn. Select the desired image file.
After selecting the image file, you will be presented with detailed information about the file. This includes the file type, path, size, name, and other relevant details. At this point, you also have the option to delete the image file after burning it. However, this step is optional, and you can choose to keep the image file if desired.
If your image file is only CD-sized (under 700 MB), a warning message may appear. This warning indicates that Alcohol 120% has detected a DVD burner in your system. To avoid wasting a DVD, select the "No" option to burn the image to a CD-R/RW instead of a DVD.
Now, you will be able to specify the burning options according to your preferences. You can select the drive, write speed, write method, and other available settings. Choose the options that align with your requirements, and then click "Start" to initiate the burning process.
