JC,

Are you trying to burn game images (iso, bin/cue, etc) or are you trying to backup your original CDs?

To burn images, use the proper program.

Ex:

.nrg = Nero, .bin/cue = Fireburner/Cdr-Win, .ccd = Clone CD, etc..

I recommend you stick to Alcohol 120% for burning images, since it supports a large number of formats. It's really easy to use, just select image burning, select your image, and burn.

To backup your original CDs, use Clone CD.

Are you trying to burn a current image, or create a new one?
The format depends on you, but when burning, the most common is .ISO and .BIN/CUE. It's really up to you though.
