[MPlayer-users] Playing .dat files from the cdrom directly

[S. Md. Kabeer Ahmed ( Ahmed )]

Hi,

I m new to using the mplayer. My system configuration
is:

PII 
RedHat Linux 8.0
LG 52x CDROM

If i wish to run the .dat files which is the format in
which vcd is available, I m not able to do it. On the
other hand, when i copy the .dat file to my hard disk
and run the mplayer, the same file starts playing. I
have tried a couple of options. Can someone throw
light on this please. 

Thanks
ahmed.
