I have some old DAT files (from Windows XP). I've done some research and they may be all kinds of files but I believe they may be video/sound files. Either way I would like to know if there's any way of knowing for sure and any free software that allows me to convert the files to that format? I've tried some software but none of them have been able to read them.
