You cannot read/copy files off a Video CD like that. Infact, that .dat isn't really a file but an "ISO gateway" that allows access to a track on the VCD. mplayer and the likes use an ioctl to be able to read the data on the VCD. Your best bet would be to use one of those programs that can dump the stream to a file in whatever format you want. Alternatively, I believe there is a CDFS patch to the Linux kernel somewhere.
