Using .bin files

Question

Hello I have around 20 video files that I bought off an online tutorial website.

In the introductory tutorial they said that you can play the .bin files using daemon tools.

But how about linux? Daemon tools is not available for linux so what must I do? Is their any equivalent or alternative way of playing .bin files?

Also these bins , upon mounting , will open up in a browser utilizing ActiveX content. Is it possible to achieve this with Java in Firefox?

Solution

Ok , Now I understood. you can use bchunk. use bchunk to convert your .bin files into ISO and then mount the ISO file.

you can install it with

sudo apt-get install bchunk

usage:

bchunk filename.bin  filename.iso

Can you mount these files with the Archive Mounter? Else see askubuntu.com/questions/111383/… - unfortunately we do not know much on the content of these files, and with what application they were created.

Already tried out VLC , but as I said , its not a simple multimedia video , its a CD which upon mounting upons up as a browser

Don't you need a .cue file for the bchunk to work?
