Read from Restored File from DLT

[cinemode]

I have restored files from a DLT tape and i got 3 files:
DDPID
control.dat
main.dat

and i was informed dat i can view the image from the main.dat using DT. I mounted this file and i got the following message when i click on the virtual drive.

"Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows."

By right i should be able to see the contents, ie:
a video_ts and audio_ts folder
if i mounted it correctly (at least dats wat i was assured of, and i was told i might have to enter some command line but i was not told wat is dat or how)...

so i am here for help.
thanks in advance

What was your data like before the backup? DAEMON Tools cannot mount files like DDPID, control.dat, nor main.dat

Try VideoLAN Player to play the *dat files. When there are videofiles then VideoLAN will/can play it.
