Most of the Vedio CDs, that I purchase from Bazar are of the form *.dat. But I have not been able to find linux software which can run these CDs. I have tried xmms, grip and sox etc. But they cannot read the CDs. Could someone please advise which software to use and where to download it from. bye shiraz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
