hey i have a small problem... i finally got the music video i wanted... but it was a DAT. file (never heard of it).. its a strange file.. it as a thumbtile thats a WMP on it then when i clicked it, it said its not apporpriate for this program then i went to select file to open with i clicked WMP and it worked... but the funny thing was the real musicvideo was 4:59 long... but in my WMP it said 4:00... so then i watched it and i compared with the real one.. both of them started at the same time and they ended at the same time.... but the real copy was 4:59 and the one i got was 4:00 so why is it?

well i tried avi it worked.... but the prob is this... the real movie is 4:59 and when i play that file its says the finishing min is 4:00.. then i go watch the video.. i watched it till the end.. even at the end it was still going on but the moving bar (the bar you want to move so like FF REW) stopped at the end... and it was still going but wtf didnt it end yet?

Maybe this was caused by it being given an incorrect extension.

If there's no real damage to the clip itself, you may want to ignore the wrong indications of the bar and total time number.

it sounds like whatever you downloaded it from, the download might not have finished completely/properly. I know there are several programs that use .dat for their "temporary" files until the download finishes.
