Title: DAT File Conversion
Post by: Chim on February 21, 2011, 05:13:21 PM

A friend over on the MyOpera Community posted this question on her Blog.
I don't happen to have the answer, but I think it's possible someone here might.

Here is her Post:

A family member asked me to make copies of her Ultrasound Sonogram that had been saved to a DVD Video. When I save it to my computer, it is a DAT file. I cannot open, watch, or copy this DAT file.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can copy this video without purchasing a program to do it?

So, any suggestions for my friend?

I think VLC Media Player could play DAT files.. and that it could record all files it plays..
