Oops!! You use RHEL4, didn't notice my bad

Give it a shot anyways. Also you might want to search the forums, i'm sure its been answered.

And you've posted in the wrong forum. This is General(non-Linux).

.dat files are played in the command line version of mplayer (on a terminal) using
mplayer vcd://1
as an example. Depending on how many tracks there are, change the number accordingly.
The first track (vcd://0) is usually an advertising video.
