playing bin file
|
I wouldn't mess with it. .bin is typically something that you would run. But you shouldn't have to do that to play a video file, so maybe they are trying to plant a virus on you.

mplayer
You might want to try mplayer or mencoder to find out what video format it really is, or convert it to some known format.
The extension '.bin' only means that it is a binary file, as such it can be anything from Microsoft Excel to an executable application - in short anything that is not explicitly ASCII text. Regards, SIMP Fedora Development |

file hithere.bin hithere.bin: ASCII text :) On UNIX-like systems the "extension" in general has nothing to do with file type. But you can always run the file command from a terminal to determine what kind of file it is. |
perhaps that's a cd format just like ISO.. you'll need a file converter to convert it to iso, mount it, then play the contents with mplayer
