There are many types of bin files particularly for windows. Some games save their files as bin also.

For mac bin means MacBinary Archive Format, more common in pre-osx systems. This is roughly similar to HQX & SIT files. For windows bin can be an image file. I think Toast may have the ability to burn such files. See THIS (click in link) for further explanations & bin types.
