    Hello to every reader.

    I have got a VideoCD which contains only one clip/track (only one DAT file). It is only twelve minutes long.

    I want to copy that clip to my hard drive for some later usage. I want to have it as ordinary MPEG1 file (MPEG1 system stream, right)? Basically, I want to "convert" it to .MPG file.

    So, how to do it? Is it sufficient to only rename the file from .DAT to .MPG, or is some special tool needed etc.?

    I have VCDGear. I will to what you said.

    I am just curious what does that "conversion" do? I don't believe there is any reencoding/recompressing involved. Maybe it is just a file container (file format) being changed?

    Yup its not re-encoding. because it only takes a minute or so, im am pretty sure it just changes the container.

    The AVSEQ01.DAT file is named 'Riff file with header'. Pratically, while you 'convert', you just remove some file headers...
    VCDEasy, VCDGear, even Isobuster are identical. They just remove some stuff. No additional job.
