How can I convert a video into binary form so that I am able to send it as a series of beeps, like binary morse code?

I have been trying to send a video to a small receiver using a series of high pitched noises that only the receiver can hear, but I can't find a way to convert the video into binary so that it is a text file. It is fine if it is in anything other than binary, but binary is preferred, as long as it is in a text format, not a video. It would also be helpful to be able to reverse the process. Thank you for all of your work.

What I have tried:

I have tried reading the code from the file explorer in Windows 10+ but I can't seem to find the text file representing the video.

It is already binary, as are all computer files.

Videos are stored in files. Files are binary (even text files are actually binary), so if you start with a video file (e.g. AVI, MP4) the you already have the binary data you need.

Here is a collection of online tools: Convert Binary to Text - Online Binary Tools[^]
But there will probably be a limit to the file length you can use ...
