I am trying to play a video cd with VLC media player which has octet stream and .dat
file extension but VLC media player is not able to play individual files from VCD.
I've tried:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
and tried opening the file with videos but of no use how can I play the video in ubuntu.
I can play whole VCD in VLC player but not the "single" dat files separately as it opens in windows media player
.dat
is a binary file - not typically a video - a.dat
is a Windows binary, and i'm going to bet that you have to run that to decode the video CD and access the files themselves (which are likely actual video files)
