Files on this server ending in a .tar extension are standard Unix TAR archives. The TAR archive format is an aggregation of a single or multiple files into a single archive, typically preserving the file dates, permissions and ownerships of each individual file or directory.

Unlike the ZIP format, TAR archives are not inherently compressed; instead, supporting tools like GNU zip may be used to compress a TAR archive to reduce its size. This type of compressed TAR archive is typically denoted by the combined extension .tar.gz.

Tar is just another compression format you need something like winrar/winzip to uncompress if you extract the tar and get rar files you need to uncompress those to to get a .bin file then use something like fireburner/cdrwin to burn if its a .bin/.cue hope this helped
