Is this a MPEG1 VCD file .dat? One you got off a CD?

yes, kazaa stores incomplete downloads in dat format. No, no players can read them because incomplete avis arent meant to be parsed. Yes, virtualdub can import partial and otherwise broken avis so you can preview the porn while its still downloading.

I've found mplayer to read most incomplete .avi files.
