Not sure if it's true what I say:

As much as I know .dat is a mpg1 file from a video-CD. *Sometimes* it helps 
just to rename the file to .mpg.

If mplayer doesn't play it, give a try to the VLC media player:

Whenever I couldn't play something using my common programs, the VLC media 
player could...
