How do I play .dat files

as_izaak · Jan 14, 2004, 01:39 PM

I recently bought a set of VCD that has 10 discs. However, the first few cds work fine on any of my media player such as DIVX and WMP. The remaining cds however, couldn't be played with error message saying unsupported format. I tested it on a VCD player and it works. What do I have to do to make this work on my media player? PLease help....Thanks.

Do you have a software VCD player installed on your computer? Tried them in that?

Try using IsoBuster to extract the .mpg file from the .dat
