mplayer, xine, vlc, totem just to name a few.
What is a .dat file anyway?
Do you have the right codec?

Are you actually using RH AS as a desktop? How bizarre.

That said, .dat certainly isn't anything that I'd recognise as a
multimedia file extension; what is it supposed to be?

The .dat file comes from VCDs iirc. Just open Xine and click on the button that says VCD. If it's configure correctly, they'll play.
