I tried to open it with Whatsapp extract and Python following instrutions videos from You tube. I managed to go succesfully through the whole process but at the end i get this error: Value error. Input strings must be a multiple of 16 in lenght. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

I'd say they have been encrypted for a reason, and we shouldn't be helping you hack in to them without knowing the ownership status.

Just go talk to your girlfriend and bring her to the movies more. or grab her phone again and find a way to get the salt dump pre encryption.

If you want to view the chats in Windows, you can use WhatsApp Viewer.
However, quotes from site:
I guess, you got the key, since the files are your possession?
If you don't have the key... read the WhatsApp Viewer page for further info.

Yeah, I love the way everyone's assumed you want to do this to snoop on your girlfriend and is judging you on itThanks Mr. Know-it-all for your advice but actually those are Whatsapp files I backed up from my former cell phone to my email some time ago that would be usefull now.
when you might actually want this for any reason good or bad - and not necessarily the one you're claiming. 
Anyway, I'm not judging you although I don't know how to break into them, so can't help you. I suggest you ask this question on the xda developers forum, where they are much more likely to know how to do this - and be more willing to help without questioning your motives.

Everyones? OK, slam me with everyone else...
At least, I posted to try and help... Sh*t, didn't even get a thanks for it...
And, that Web site, for the viewer, has links for help at those xda forums...
But, without the phone or the key he/she is basically outta luck, without a lot of work (and know how) to decrypt them.
EDIT:
Hee Hee, I knew that would get your attention.

Ok, I meant one of those "generic everyones" lol, I'm sorry my bad, didn't intend to tar you with the same brush! You gave a great answer and I've thanked you for it.
For the record, the OP hasn't thanked me for it either, but then he hasn't been online since this morning, so we gotta give him a chance.
