What software uses a .dat file? What's it from?

 

the .dat file is opned with windows media player nd its a small animation movie about a science experiment.

 

Its an mpeg-1 from a VCD. In VCD format it takes the .mpg file and renames it to a .dat file. DVD's do the same thing. They take an mpeg-2 video with a .mpg tag and rename it a .vob. They even do it with CD's renaming a .wav to .cda . Just rename the ******.dat file to *****.mpg and edit accordingly with your favorite movie editor. Windows movie maker should even be able to handle the yob.

If you just want the image to work with open the video full screen and hit prntscrn button. Then open any image editor and hit paste and it will paste a screen shot to your program.
