Can't read MS-DOS files on Ext HD.

Looking for some help please as Im struggling to open files on my MS-DOS formatted external HD.

Many months ago I copied a number of family camcorder files onto the ext HD so that I could view them on both my PS3 and Macbook Pro 2012, the HD has since been in storage.

Today I connected my HD to my Macbook (Mavericks) and tried to open one of the files, but couldn't. I had always thought that MS-DOS worked on both Mac & PS3?

Heres some screenshots...

VLC has saved the day, thanks for the help. Embarrassingly easy in fact
