Who spent?

U la....tv watch u

Can this player play VCD (.dat) files as well? I am thinking of copying all the old Karaoke VDCs into one folder.

I dun think it read DAT, but you can converts the DAT to mpeg 1 file in really fast speed and they will work

Thanks for the feedback. But if got lots of Karaoke VCDs will still take long time to convert.

No need to convert, just rename the files to .mpg cos .dat actually a mpeg file by itself.

nordingh, dat is a mpeg1 correct, but DAT should has some changes in the header compare to 'actual' mpeg1, in order to be able to played inside VCD player.

I am not sure, and cannot test (I do not have any more VCD dat) on WDTV wherther it will work by renaming.

anyway, this was what I used many years ago for my VCD files.

but... if u want small size file... u need to convert to divx. normally dat file has 700mb size and divx can get less than dat file.

OK, good, thanks. I know not popular, but old Karaoke collection still on VCD

Hi, all WDTV users here, may I know what electrical socket you guys using for WDTV?

Lor... standard Malaysia 3 pin socket la... cos the adapter is 3 pin. Call UK 3 pin socket.

Buy extension or adapter plug similar to this... all adapter can use.

3 pins or 2 pins easily can be converted leh...


ok, now I know DAT can be play hehehehe... I have some grade 'A' dat files left in PC hehehee

hmm, mine came with a UK 3-pin plug attachment

mine also... that why I also confuse when WereWolf84 ask what socket we all use.

His one look like Australia version.
