OP, it's best to just leave the files as .bin and .cue and when copying the games over to HDD use HDL Batch Installer. This fine tool will automatically recognize those files as CD based PS2 games and will install them accordingly on the HDD so that they are playable over OPL.

Anyway, to transfer your games for normal OPL build, you must an installer like HDL Batch Installer. Don't worry about the CD/DVD media type thing, the installer will figure it out automatically.
