Unfortunately that does not work. VLC will play the files but otherwise the program does not respond to the files as if they exist. It will not convert them or save them or record them or manipulate them in any way.

I have 2 .DAT files that I want to convert to avi or mpg or any format that will be read by youtube. These files were recorded off the television using Conia equipment and are about 7 minutes long each. VLC will play the files but will not convert or record or save them. I have tried converting them...
