The .DAT from VCD are actual .MPG files.

If you want to reconvert, then you have to select what kind of codec for the audio and what kind of codec you want the output .AVI file depending on your converter software.

The most common is people use DIVX or XVID for video stream and MP3 for audio stream and merge them into the .AVI file.

u can try tmpeg express

Total video Converter try it


actualy Dun need to convert just , change the Open With "Player"
mean set Open With , with Media player like Divx , Klite koded media classis .

That all

why don`t u get VCDcutter to rip the movies into mpg format 1st then get some converter to convert to avi format? i know its the longer way, but mpg format is flexible

i usually rename the files as *.mpg extension and then convert them to *.avi instead.

Same thing can be done using VCDGear. Convert into *.MPG then convert into *.AVI using VirtualDudMOD (codecs required for conversion).

I'm newbie about this, ya now my file .mpg and I hope soon can convert to .avi
My problem now is what kind of codec required for virtualdudmod.

For compatibility (especially if you're planning to play using home DivX player) use DivX (current version is 6.5) and LAME ACM MP3 Codec (convert audio into MP3).

I want to convert the .dat files to other formats playing on my DVD Player.

I am a green hand. Can any1 tell me which software is good and what settings I use. I greatly appreciate your help.

Uh.. I experienced the same and want to turn the dat video files to avi playable on my dvd player just a few days ago. I am also new and I asked my friend for help. He recommended ojosoft dat to avi converter. I am too clumsy to use it, so I emailed their after - sale service. Actually it is simple, just choosing the right profile is ok. You can do following their guides. And remember choose the profile for avi: DVD Player - NTSC compatible [DivX,4000kbps,29.97fps,720*480].

Good luck
