.dat files actually do not exist. They are "virtual" files created as a workaround for some of the brain-damages of windows.
VCDs contain "raw" data, they can be played with MPlayer - (http://www.mplayerhq.hu), xine - (xine.sourceforge.net) and a few more.

Windows not found
(C)heers, (P)arty or (D)ance?

For older versions of mplayer:
$ mplayer -vcd 1

For newer versions:
$ mplayer vcd://1
