How to Convert .DAT to VCD ?

DerekBarton · #1 10-06-2003, 01:05 AM

I have a project that is 2 cds at present, and i want to convert them to 1 kvcd obviously or i wouldnt be here

.

The problem is the two disks are bin fles and when extracted the movie file is in .dat format.

Is there anyway of me combining the two .dat files together and then converting them to kvcd?

Ive been encoding other movies (mainly .avi format) to kvcd for a month or so now but never come accross a .dat file b4.

Thanks

You can convert a .dat into a real mpeg1 file with vcdeasy

It's simple indeed. You didn't look at to correct place, that's all.

Open VCDEasy, click on tools on the left, then MPEG tools on the top bar. Finally at the bottom of the window you find the entry for cdxa2mpeg. That what you need.

You can use also VCDGear. But I think like dial hot VCDEasy is the best choise.

But how exactly do you go about squashing 2 mpg1 files into 1 kvcd?
