Try to open it with Irfan View, If it feels, it is a jepg files with incorrect extention, it will suggest you to correct the extention.

@blacklight- they are image files ..... my friend got em to my place. all i could do is just run it in powerdvd and they d come for a sec and disappear..... and even if they persisted i wouldnt use the "Prnt Scrn" cause the quality would be real bad
@vijaythefool- tried renaming the extension dude.......infact first thing i tried.....dint work.....i tried opening it in Jassc PSP and save it again ......that din happen too
@swatkat- no dude ........apparently they are photos! some camera saves it in dat format! ......
@kl_ravi- yeah it does open but i prefer to convert em to a more portable type.

there has to be some kinda converter.............jus cant find it!

.dat is usually a video file ,however short it may be.So you can convert it into .mpg For this purpose you can use Isobuster.IsoBuster is part freeware and part shareware.However the conversion facility is included in the freeware part.So you should have no problem in converting it.
