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.

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.
