Xine, mplayer and some others can run it. But if you want a short, sweet, efficient solution that needs no tweaking around, try mtv. It is a shareware, but can be used for non-commercial purposes free. Is available in both rpm and tarball format. You can download it at http://www.mpegtv.com/download.html. Xine is nice and is fast improving. It runs VCDs which contain dat file, but I haven't been able to make it run a file with .dat extension. Maybe it requires certain plugins, but I haven't tried. regards, -- narsingh ________________________________________________________________________ Send free SMS using the Yahoo! Messenger.
