.DAT isn't a format, it's a container. You're .DAT file from VCD contains MPEG1 video. Use freeware VCDGEAR to convert it to .MPEG. Now you can try Nokia MMC.

you can just use a freeware iWisoft Free Video Converter for that conversion, it supports all video formats including .dat to .3gp, very good result, better than most paid programs.
