Step 6 Task: Open your "mounted" .dat/.bin/.avi/.mpg movie file into the movie player software that displays it best.
How:
- Find the primary movie file. It will commonly be upwards of 600,000kb large, and will often have the file extension .bin, .dat, .avi. or .mpeg at the end of its name.
- Try double-click to launch the .bin/.avi/.mpeg/.dat into your default player. Default player will be Windows Media Player for most users.
- If Media Player fails, then try opening the file into DivX Player. You can use drag-and-drop technique for opening, or launch DivX and open the movie file from there. DivX is commonly used for viewing .dat files.
- Lastly, try the VLC player from VideoLan. VLC player commonly renders .avi files that come from Europe.
Explanation: Almost as ambiguous as Step 5, this Step 6 happens to be the guesswork step. Because some virtual CD-DVD files will only play in certain players, you will need to use trial-and-error to identify which player works best for that movie. Gratefully, DivX, Windows Media Player, and VLC seem to cover 99% of all movies available on P2P.
