Question

Why is it .dat, and how can i covert it to .avi? what program can i use?

i need to burn this file to a disk , so which format would i use, using roxio?

Answer 1

Hi!

.Dat is used for VDCs and SVCDs. To convert it to .avi simply use a VCD/SVCD to AVI convertor.
Good luck!

Answer 2

Aha, I asked this question before. Just retype the extension manually. Should work unless the file is not actually avi but other video files. Use Yahoo Answers' "Search for questions" function for more information. This question has been asked and resolved many times.
