Mysterious Video CD Movie files

Doing some housecleaning and came across a number of files that were listed as Video CD Movies (used the icon from Nero) If I try to open any, Nero loads and then the message that it cannot play media file. Either corupt or app doesn not support format.
These files located in C:/Docs & Settings/User & in Local Settigns. I find 9 of these kinds of files in ClipMate. The files have different names, but all indicate they are are VideoCDMovies. Any ideas?

Initially there were no extension type visable & properties did not indicate such. Turned on in CP/Folders and see they are all .dat files. I guess this means they are useful, but why are they showing up with a VideoCDMovie type icon?
