If you just burned a movie to CD, it should be a single data track (i.e.
iso9660); You can confirm if you have a valid iso, by mounting it as a 
loopback. It could be the your cue file is bad, or bin2iso isn't smart
enough to understand it. I think there's another bin to iso program for
linux called bchunk (based on the Windows binchunk). You may want to try
that one.
