dat files aren't all videos, they are basically DATA files.
Sometimes you can use Notepad to view them, but its always best to use the program that created them in the first place.

ScottGem agrees: Yes DAT is not a standard format. Many apps use that extension for text or proprietary files.

AS both Scott and I have said these dat files can only be opened by Yahoo messanger and more than likely ONLY by the person that originally created them.
