Default Question about .dat files which are actually .avi files
Sometimes, I download movies with eMule. This program creates temporary .dat files to store the movies. When I open these in BSPlayer (to see if the quality is good etc.) it won't open them, because it thinks they are dat files, but actually they are DivX .avi files. Is there any way to 'trick' BSPlayer into loading them as avi?

There is an option in CoolEdit (wave editing program) called 'Open as'. This enables you to load any file, for example with extension .tst, as an mp3 or whatever you like. This would be great in BSPlayer, so I don't have to copy my files each time and rename them to .avi
