I ran media info on some of my archival video files ripped from a CD. They had .dat extension and I played them with VLC. Can anyone suggest a way of retouching them ?

The old school way used to be big photoshop batches.  Possibly with a plug-in.  There’s probably something better than that now.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Photoshop for video editing?

Depends what you want to do. If you just want to cut/trim something like avidemux or losslesscut will do, otherwise you'll need a video editing program. DaVinci Resolve is free.

Yep.  Frame by frame. Could get kind of monotonous.  You use a batch system to do multiple things at once.  Say you just want to darken a series or something.  There were plugin that could do things like select a particular thing over and over and do the same thing to it.  Thy generally had to be tweaked a bit though.  It sort of cried out for better automation.  There should be better stuff around by now.  It’s how the did some early Cgi too.

Probably true.  It’s all I know how to do though. There’s probably free stuff that is better than that by now.
