Bino
Bino is a free, open-source multimedia player designed for viewing both 2D and stereoscopic 3D video content. It supports a wide variety of video formats through FFmpeg, handles different 3D input and output formats (side-by-side, anaglyph, interlaced, etc.), plays video across multiple displays (useful for virtual reality and projection installations), and includes built-in subtitle handling and audio/video synchronisation tools. It is used by home viewers, VR enthusiasts, and professionals working with 3D or multi-display video installations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBino is a legacy open-source project that has not been actively maintained in recent years — the latest SourceForge release (1.6.8) is from November 2021, and the developer's personal website shows no newer builds. The project has no confirmed native Apple Silicon (arm64) build available through its official channels. The Intel-only binary will continue to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this version will no longer launch on M-series Macs. If you use Bino regularly for 3D or multi-display video, you should begin investigating alternatives now. For straightforward 3D video playback, newer universal players like VLC (which has confirmed native Apple Silicon support) can handle many stereoscopic formats. For professional 3D or VR content, check whether your domain has newer maintained tooling — game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine both ship native Apple Silicon builds and have 3D/VR capabilities well beyond basic video playback. Contacting the Bino maintainers via SourceForge or the GNU Savannah project page to ask about native Apple Silicon support is worth trying, but given the project's inactivity, a native build is unlikely to materialise before the September 2028 deadline.
