I have many videos in .BIN format. However, Windows Media, VLC, KMPlayer all show error messages. I googled it, but most of the results showed that VLC should play it. I have even used third-party software to convert the files, but they refused . :( Plz. Help

What are the size of those .BIN files? Are you sure, they are videos?
Their are .BIN files on a video DVD's too, but most of them are just to support the playback on DVD players. The actual video files are those .VOB files present on the DVD.

let me add this..

BIN is binary format extension used in many file types
such as BIOS file (.bin)
Video File (.bin)
Image File (.bin)
Ninento DS system files (.bin)
OS system files (.bin)
etc etc :mrgreen:

They are a series of videos on Ethical Hacking, which was shared on my hostel LAN. Their sizes vary according to the time. For ex., a 1 hr. lecture is approx 72 MB long. The worst thing is that VLC is unable to play it ! Will be trying the Pot Player soon . . Thanks for your support guys !

In that case, you can try to convert those files into appropriate format, through converters like, Any Video Convertor. (Link: Editors and Convertors Downloads - FileHippo.com)
And then check if it plays.

Maybe you've been given the image of the discs the videos were recorded on. Try opening one with WinRAR, also try Daemon Tools for mounting.

Or the video files may be corrupted - that's why no player is able to play it.

Worked my hands on them also(tried to mount with the daemon tolls).. didn't help !

Hmmm... I also think so..



No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.


This is the message shown by VLC when I ask it to play !!

Try SMPlayer(front end of famous mplayer), it plays files vlc can't.

On a side note, download and install this: MediaInfo

Find out the video/audio codec.
