If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DAT the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DAT file to other than VOB. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DAT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to VOB on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DAT file in its original format (without conversion to VOB file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
