Surely you must know what file extensions your source files have.  If they are videos, then they are possibly WMV files (Windows Media Video).

any other tool or option?
VLC will also work.

Here is a detailed explanation for you:
Extract audio
VLC can extract audio from any of the many input sources it supports, and write this audio to an audio-file in a variety of formats. In other words, it discards any video content from the input source, and it converts the audio content to the desired format.

This is HOW, using VLC:
Transcode

Transcoding is the process of taking a video file and changing it to a different format or bitrate.

Transcoding in VLC copies the movie to a new file in a different format, so you end up with both the original and new files. This means you need to have enough space on your hard drive to store this extra file. You should also have a reasonably fast computer, as transcoding can be very slow.

In VLC, transcoding is exactly the same as streaming across a network, except that the output is sent to a file instead of a network.

Because initailly you sais from title "wma to mp4" and now you say .dat
That is a different type of file.
.dat is from VCD (Video CD).

Can you play that file and see the video?
With what player?
Do you use VLC?
Can you play it with VLC?

If you do not like to play with VLC, then you need a free .dat to .mp4 converter:
