If you can provide a download for this specific .bin
file, I could check out its contents for you.
Usually, .bin
files are ISO images. You could try some things:
- if the file comes with a
.cue
file, open that with Unarchiver instead.
- rename it into an
.iso
and try opening it again with Unarchiver. Rarely works though.
- download VLC and drag the file onto the window. VLC can play a wide range of formats including DVDs, so if your file is properly formatted, you can most certainly play it with VLC.
- download Daemon Tools and open the
.bin
or .cue
with it.
If you're able to play the file with VLC but unable to open it with any archiving tool, your best bet might be to convert it to another format using VLC. This will get the video to another format, although it'd be a lossy conversion (you'd have a lower quality output).
file myfile.bin
from a shell to know if it is yet in a format understandable then eventually rename it (do not convert kif it is not needed). Try to use vlc on it. If it is possible to play it do not convert again. With each conversion you have the risk to decrease the quality.
