Can anyone help me, I'm a first timer here and I have fully developed my first VCD, everything went wong the first time but I thought I fixed all the bugs and gave it a go again, this time EZCD-CREATER 4.0 said it was successful, highly doubtful i checked the back of the cd and it looked ok.

The problem is, i can not play the .DAT on my computer. I used Active Movie, Media Player, Real Player, and a slew of VCD shareware players, none seem to work on the dat file.

I have burned from .bin (CDR-WIN Version of an ISO) VCD's before and I was able to play the DAT file. Why can't I now?

donno, could be multiple things.. suggest you burn vcd's with nero burning rom 5.5.6.4 (www.ahead.de). burns normally come out flawless and it is a much better prog for burning then EZ CD ERROR_CREATOR..

also, make sure you didnt encode to an SVCD versus VCD.. alot of shareware cannot play SVCDs, due to the lack of the MPEG2 codec...

good luck..
