I downloaded some software that's meant to be burned but I'm not familiar with the formats.

They are .ace, .bin, and .cue. Toast and DiskCopy can't seem to handle them... Has anyone burned these on a Mac before?

.bin files are binary files - i.e. executables (usually used for UNIX/Linux executables)
.ace are archives from the ACE archiver program (a Windows compression utility)
.cue are Windows cue card files (or I think can be CD-image files as well)

I don't know why you can't just drag these to Toast - my Toast Ti (ver.5.1.3) seems to burn just about anything, especially if I use ISO9660 as the format. If the cue files are in fact disk images, then you may need to use that format instead.
