rename them to *.mpg?

These are just mpeg 1 files on VCD's.  If for some reason you
can't rename them, you can try (the syntax is a bit fuzzy to me
ATM):

cat avseq*.dat | xine stdin://

But you won't be able to seek in the video.  This is the Xine way
to play a growing file (e.g. a video capture in progress).
