J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Does anyone has an application to open a DAT file. I have tried many ways to open it but none wich is succesful. If anyone has, please tell me! Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted June 7, 2004 Ok I'm guessing here..... DAT files can belong to any program. It really depends on what the DAT file belongs to. DAT files can be of any format, and generally can't be opened by much. I think they contain binary data. Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 7, 2004 I really, really need to know how to open the DAT file. Anyone who knows how to open it, please tell me! Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted June 7, 2004 The DAT file in question..... what is it from, where did you get it? Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 8, 2004 I think the DAT file contains movie files because it's named Movie.DAT and it has a large size. I get it from one of the games that I installed in my computer, the games mostly contains DAT files. I have tried many ways like compile it to MPG, but it's always failed.

Sonic 292 Posted June 8, 2004 I would say theis DAT file can only be used by the game it belongs to. Search your own hard drive and you will find lots of .dat files but you can't do anything with them, they linked to the programs the create them. Share this post Link to post
Tree 0 Posted June 8, 2004 I used to really be into the game by Trokia, Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, amd they made a program for opening .dat files. you can find it here. http://www.terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/dload.p...&file_id=20 Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted June 8, 2004 As Sonic said, that program will probably only open .dat files for that game. Share this post Link to post
Tree 0 Posted June 21, 2004 no., i tried it and it works. it even works for system files if you are into that kinda stufff. Share this post Link to post
Kingofall 0 Posted June 21, 2004 it depends, if it is one WHOLE MOVIE, then dun change it into anything the media player should be able to open it or a XingPlayer etc.... if it is a collection of movies from a game or so well which game? Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Nice program, thank you tree. The program is working good, it can extract the container. This is really helping me, thanks once more tree. Share this post Link to post

J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 25, 2004 I 'm looking for a program that can convert any file into anything. Like converting MPEG to AVI, MP3 to MPEG, etc. Full converter. Share this post Link to post
Tree 0 Posted June 25, 2004 a music file to a movie file? I think I have one that converts wma to mp3 and vice-versa. Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 25, 2004 I already have it. What I mean is, an all converter that can convert any file to anything. Share this post Link to post
Tree 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Adobe Photoshop converts any picture to any picture extension. ex jpg to png, gif to jpg, etc. etc. You can convert any file to anything by changing it's extension, not that it will work. Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted June 25, 2004 I already have it too. And, changing the file extension will make the file error maybe. You can't open it, unless you restore it. Share this post Link to post
