 <P>About .DAT files:</P>
 
 <P>The ~600 MB file visible on the first track of the mounted vcd isn't a real

 tracks (Windows doesn't allow raw device access to applications at all).
 Under linux, you cannot copy or play such files (they contain garbage).
 Under Windows it is possible as its iso9660 driver emulates the raw reading of
-tracks in this file.
