Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Haribol! Just got 160Gig drive [Free] Old comp broke so they sent new one gift voucher, anyway. I put all of the Prabhupada Dvds dat. files. But I can't play them from the hardrive. Anyone know what I could do? Windows Player 9 won't play not even music match. I didn't try Realplayer. In case it tries to take over my Pc!

Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 You need PowerDVD to play DVDs. But you may need more files than just the .dat file. I'm not certain about it, but I believe at least some DVDs split the audio and video tracks into two seperate files. You would have to test it and find out.

Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I figured it out anyway. If you change the dat. file extention to .mp3 or .wma or even .mpg it plays but ONLY on older versions of Windows Media Player, Player 9 won't play it. I have Windows Movie Maker and tried to reduce the sizes works like a charm. Even splits the DVD into Story board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
