you should try to open it in mediaplayer of realplayer
with those 2 programs you can open most of the music/image/movie-files

when i open it with Realplayer i get this message
MPEG by Bitcasting: File Format cannot find MPEG file header. This may not be an MPEG file.
But thats bullshit because by all my other friends the movie works perfectly.Maybe there is something wrong with the registry or something!!Reallty dont know.

open your windows media player.
open 'my computer' and go to the mpeg folder on your vcd
then click and drag one the .dat files right into the windows media window and it should play

no that doesn't make a difference
it only changes the file extension but
the content is the exact same.

Media Player should be able to play .dat files because really they are just MPEG-1 files. Try downloading the older version Media Player 6.4. Version 7 has given me nothing but problems.
NO NO NO NO
