An ISO image is a file containing an ISO-9660 filesystem.  It is,
essentially, a bit-for-bit copy of a CD ROM.  You can use this kind of
file to burn a CD, it's been around longer, is the international
standard for such images, and is far easier than screwing around with
bin/cue stuff (when I run into this, I just use bchunk to fix people's
broken, propriety bin/cue images into something universally usable).
