The Bin file itself is an old type of file which contains all the information that came from the original DVD or CD. But you can't open the Bin file directly, so you won't be able to see what files are inside.
But there is one way to open the file, the method is that you have to burn the Bin file to a CD or insert it into a virtual drive. Another way is that you can change the file with the Bin extension to an ISO file. Therefore, you need third-party applications to be able to burn and open these files.
