.DAT movie files not recognised

Post by maurice »

I have some old rips that are .DAT files, but I'm unable to rename them as I keep getting "No movie files have been selected."

Is there a way to fix resolve this?

:idea: *.DAT files are typically not movie files. If you use the correct file extension - or any video file extension really - then it'll probably work.

:?: What does the MediaInfo table say for the file at hand?
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

Thanks! Seems like it was common for old VCD rips to be .DAT, but they were all MPEG-1.

Would be handy if the media info was a bit easier to access (it's quite useful, but I don't think I would have ever found it). Maybe something like "right click Original File -> View Media Info"?
