DAT is a generic file extension (usually short for DATA). Its format and content are determined by the application that created the file. Without knowing what file created the DAT file, it would be very difficult to deterime how (or even if it was possible) to convert to XLS format. See related links for more information about the DAT file extension.
As I know, it doesn't matter what the video format is when you burn a video to DVD-rw or DVD+rw. What's important is that whether your DVD burner supports the video format. For example, I use wondershare to burn my DVDs, it supports AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV, MOV, DAT and many other video formats. So I could burn downloaded movies, videos, even bit torrent and YouTube movie to DVD.
DVD Creator is the right software for you. You can create DVD from 3GP, AVI, DV, VOB, FLV, M2TS, MTS, SWF, MKV, MPG, MPEG, MPA, DAT, MP4, TS, NSV, MOV, QT, RMVB video etc. For the DVD folder, you can add subtitle, background music and menu with DVD Creator.
