Unix Executable files - need help to open

Hi folks, sorry i have been looking through previous discussions re these type of files but its all well and truley above me. I have been given a video file and when copied to 'finder' it showed it was a unix executable file and it opened Terminal, again made no sense to me. I was informed to download MPEG Streamclip with no luck and the jargon I have read is goobledegook to me, sorry. Can anyone help pls in simple terms????

Sorry, but there's nothing in that file. All it is is a Nikon Photo index file. All that's there is an idex of photos taken by the camera, no actual photos or any other data. If that's all that's on the card, well then, there is no data on the card.
