.dat files are data files, not media files. If it is supposed to be a media file, just change the extension fron .dat to .mpg, .avi, .wmv or whatever it should be. Just rename it with one of those extensions.

Takeda is incorrect. Dat files can most definatly be video.
You may not have the correct codec to view the file.
