Is there any solution on OS X for burning .bin files?

Though some people say Toast would burn the .bin file as disk image it does often not work properly.

You can use MissingMediaBurner, which is a graphical frontend for cdrdao (I prefer the command line version myself, it's just quicker to handle).

Another, newer burning app which handles .cue/.bin files on OS X is FireStarter FX (uses also cdrdao).

Toast and [on OS X] Disk Copy should be able to burn it. You might need to change the file name from .bin to .img or .toast if the app doesn't see it.

Just try it? If it doesn't work, install cdrtools.

I just tried twice to drag a .bin file on Toast and it crashed each time, so I think that would need some improvement.

I first tried Firestarter, nice app, I put in my .cue file and it found my .bin. All so good so far, when I burn tho, it just stays idle.

I tried MissingMediaBurner and that was awesome, burnt real quick too.

Cdrtools is the new name of the package formerly known as cdrecord. It contains cdrecord, mkisofs, cdda2wav and more.
