You did not say what version of Nero you used, but generally you start up Nero, tell it you want to burn a disc image and browse to the cue file. If it is ~700MB in size, then it is designed to be burnt to a CD-R, which should be playable in a DVD player.

.bin files are usually data storages referenced by .cue files. IIRC, you select to burn from the .cue or .ccd, then that takes all the info from the .bin and arranges it in either ISO or UDF format.

If you wanted, you could convert the BIN file to an ISO http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_bintoiso.php and then burn that if you were having issues. I don't tend to deal with BIN files, I'd rather convert everything to ISO. It's just personal preference. http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_usingnero_bincue.php That will tell you how to burn image files in nero.

thanks for the tips I think I will go with bin2iso

Hmm, I really wouldn't reccomend conversion, with the chance of corruption, a direct burn would be the best way to go, as it has the least chance of something going wrong.

just be sure you finalize the disk after the burn - otherwise you may have trouble reading the disk. This should be an option as a checkbox somewhere in nero, probably on the last page just before the burn step. I have the newest version of nero, so not too sure about the older versions, but it should be the same sort of idea.

There are easier ways.

Google for DVD Decrypter. Install it. Give it the .bin. It'll burn and be fully playable on your TV.
