Does anyone know what plays .bin video files?

The .bin format usually indicates a CD image. Do you have a associated .cue file with it?

Do you know if the video is a VCD or SVCD? Video LAN (VLC) is supposed to be able to play the .bin files directly (without having to mount them), but I haven't verified this.

ok, I'll search for video lan, thx!

there is a program you can use that creates virtual drives that you can mount the bin files to...give me a min and i'll see if i still have it...freeware i believe

Daemon Tools can mount the .bin file just fine, but I think it needs the associated .cue file for it.

You can mount either the .bin or .cue in Daemon Tools. If it's a VCD it will have a couple of directories, but the main one is usually some .DAT file which I have no idea what it is but it plays fine in media player classic.

A DAT file on a VCD is simply a renamed MPEG-1 (.mpg) file. SVCDs/CVDs use the .mpg extension.

Daemon Tools works best for me. The only thing it can't seem to handle is Nero disc images. (.nrg)
