BIN files bigger than ISO?

Does anyone else see that .bin files are bigger than .iso files? why is this? i am just curious because they both burn the image of a cd i thought they would be same size?
 
BIN files are bigger than ISO files by nature, this isnt a problem, it's just the file type.
Dont worry about it..they will burn just fine.
 
yes in some cases i noticed that it is about 100MB bigger. this is a drastic size difference. so why are .bin so popular? if .iso can do the same in less hd space and doesn't need a cue file most of the time?
 
I don't think you can convert a bin file with more than 1 tracks to ISO, suff like music cds or game cds w/ CDDA can't be converted to a bin file. This is with binchunker though.
