Capturing Audio from DAT file

[ilikecoding]

Hi,
I have five DAT files which contain both audio and video it plays fine in VLC player. I want to capture the audio from these DAT files as MP3 or WAVE and play it in my car while i drive. Is there a way to capture the audio from these files using the VLC player?
thank you,

Convert the file with VLC and select only the audio

first i did not know that VLC can do the conversion. 2nd how do i use VLC to do this conversion, is there a manual?

Once convert is selected, there are four tabs, one that says File, Disc, Network and Capture Device. On the file one, i selected the file to be converted. No subtitles. Then i clicked on the Convert/Save button and then selected the file to be saved to. I selected the format as Audio - MP3. Then i clicked on the configuration button to the right of this, the one with the wrench icon. i selected the audio tab and then i selected MP3 and then Save. Then i clicked Save and it went. i spent some time to figure this out. Hopefully, you will have an easier time when you see this post.
