w.jeffrey Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have a movie in .bin format. I used Toast to mount it. Under the mounted image, there is a VCD file (I think) AVSEQ01.DAT. I was wondering what app works to view the file. I tried, VLC, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and OSX DVD Player; none of which work. Any help would be great.

Callysto Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Quicktime should work. Can you drag the .dat file out of the .bin file and try that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33301-dat-file-how-to-view/#findComment-235252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

w.jeffrey Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 I dragged it out of the .bin file and it still didn't work. I can open the file, and seek around, but there is no video. Everytime I jump to a different place in the video, a very short distorted sound plays. How do i turn it into a .mov?

Rammjet Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 DAT is a VCD format Try VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Get a DivX plugin: http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/download/ Try VisualHub: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ Try Mpeg StreamClip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33301-dat-file-how-to-view/#findComment-235352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkywalker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Rename the AVSEQ01.DAT as AVSEQ01.MPG It always worked for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33301-dat-file-how-to-view/#findComment-235358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 BTW, this is off topic, but when emailing Office documents from win to mac usually results in a .dat file.

McSkywalker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Always zip them to avoid corruption while sending. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33301-dat-file-how-to-view/#findComment-235401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
snackole Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yes, change the file extension to .MPG or .mpg both should work just fine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33301-dat-file-how-to-view/#findComment-235433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
