VLC opens them because it plays KVCD etc.

I'm stuck on Vista at the moment, but it's just a matter of command-click>open with>choose your application and tick the 'always open with...' box, isn't it?

or just in the Get Info panel (command + I) you can set what a particular file opens with and make it ubiquitous...

I'm not sure if disk utility can handle .bin files, so you could try that. If not, I'm sure Toast will mount them.
