BIN files are a type of archived image file that has been compressed for storage on a computer's hard drive or a CD or DVD. Although BINs are generally associated with Unix-based programs, you may have BIN files that are housing many different file types, including MP4 videos. Converting your BINs is actually a process of "mounting" the image file and un-archiving its contents. There are a number of programs that allow for these conversions, including software like WinISO, MagicISO, and PowerISO--all of which have free trial periods and follow the same basic procedures of opening and extracting a BIN file's contents.
