.dat files are mpeg-1 files that have been repacked for VideoCD. You can either try to play them as-is with an mpeg-1 player, or convert them back to pure mpeg-1 files using vcdman. ---------------- Warren Melnick Director of Research and Development Astata Corporation -----Original Message----- From: hassan boulmarouf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 5:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: a '.dat' video player. Hi everybody, i have video files that are '.dat' extension. i usually use Windows Media Player in Windows95 to play them. but in Linux i can't find a video player that supports these files. i have tried 'mtv' and 'kaction!' but none of them can play .dat files. can anybody, please, tell me of a software to play these files, and where i can download it ? i also would like to know of a Linux software encyclopedia site. thank you in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
