VCD(DAT) to MPG This method will let you copy the VCD video to compliant mpg file(s). If you just copy the .dat file(s) with windows explorer you may experience problems because windows copies all sectors in "raw mode" instead of "vcd mode". Tools: Isobuster. Install and run Isobuster. Select your CD/DVD Drive. Click on the MPEGAV folder. Select all dat files and right click and select Extract but filter only M2F2 Mpg frames. Save the new file as filename.mpg. It will automatically be converted to a compliant mpg file SVCD(MPG) to MPG This method will let you copy the SVCD video to compliant mpg file(s).
