WINAMP::now play .DAT and MOV files in Winamp!! great!

hi all,
just found out a way to play .dat and .mov file in winamp. trying to find this from a long time because of enhancer dsp for winamp is great for good sound quality. right now i am using winamp 5.32 just check out, this SHOULD work on previous versions. by default winamp can't play these file types. you might need some codec pack for playing quick time files like quick time alternative but nothing like this is needed for playing dat files.

go to preference >input>nullsoft DirectShow decoder>configure

here you can see cnames of various file types like MPG,AVI etc. add DAT and then MOV. use semicolon in between two file extensions. then click ok.
now you can enjoy these filetypes on winamp.

hey please give some repo to me if you like, it feels nice....

COOL!! MAN ITS WORKING ON 5.24 version as well

just open dat file in WMP, it will definately play. for mov file use quick time alternative and then try to open mov file in WMP, say yes if it asks should WMP play this file.

@pro
No it doesnot do do

for dat files - jus renaming the .dat to .mpg will do !! as simple as that!!

thanks a lot dude
its a great info
its working

it is not possible to rename DAT files on CD while you want to watch films. actually winmedia player like winamp can identify files with their codec and DAT files do have mpeg codec hence renamiming is possible. but this will not help if you have a large collection of dat files, there renaming will not be an easy option and if you try to play dat files without adding it as an input the player will crash .

while opening dat files in wmp just click ALL files in the open menu. this will make sure you can see every file type (even picture files doc files etc as well) then select dat file. this will play definitely......
