You could just burn the bins as they are (ie as files) and put a copy of alcohol on the dvd also. When you want to access one of the bins, simply use alcohol to load it up as a cd image.

Depends. Should be no problem though. I mean, if they're not bootable discs or something that requires a specific file structure (e.g. vcd) or whatever, then have a google for daemon tools (allows you to mount image files), copy everything to your hdd, then burn onto the one disc.

Good luck.

are the bin files backups made using cdrwin?

u wanna basically get the contents of these three 'isos' onto one dvd?

I think you can unpack .bin files using winrar, you could then simply reburn the folders onto the dvd

there are other issues to consider, are these game discs etc? they might not work as expected on the dvd?

Get an app that can make a virtual drive (google daemon tools). Mount the images and then select the files that they contain and burn them onto the dvd.

Autorun probably wont work for cds 2 and 3, but u can always manually start the file.

*edit, damn i need to type faster

they are game cds the originals ask for cd2 or cd3 to be entered at differnet stages throughout the game

will deamon tools allow me to mount the .bin files directly or will i have to convert them to iso's also the files .bin files have .cue files associated with them what should i do with them or do i need to do anything with them

cheers so far

Yes daeamon will allow u to mount bins. Cues are just instructions on how the bin works. Daeamon will use both the files.

Hopefully the game will just ask u to insert the next cd. Then u can just select the dvd drive and hopefully it will detect the files and contineu the install

i had deamon tool installed on this pc but removed it for some unbeknown reason however the virtual dvd drives remained when im installing it now its having a problem it keeps popping up unable to continue with installation deamon toll already installed on this pc (trust me it isnt) is there anyway of removing the virtual drives to try and reinstall deamon tools

Hmm, thats annoying. U could try running the current uninstall program for daemon (uninstall.exe usually). Or u could try delving into the registry or getting a registry cleaner to delete the daemon reg settings
