I am a novice...please help me to make a VCD from MPEG files. I wonder what is a DAT file. Is it really a MPEG file? How a MPEG file can be converted into .DAT file. I have a HP 8200 CD Writer and I use the ADAPTEC Software coming along with it. I did not see any option in it leading to making VCDs. When I explored VCDs, I used to see several folders apart from the MPGAV folder. How are they created? Or will the VCD Creating software itself will do the job? WHICH IS THE FREEWARE THAT I CAN MAKE A VCD OUT OF MPEG FILES, so that I can play it on my JVC VCD player ? Please guide me.

Hello, You can't create a VCD from the adaptech sofware you have, I hope you are talking about the one you received along with your CD Writer. You need to buy the deluxe version of adaptech to create the VCD.

Well u r expecting a free software to do all this????

Good luck keep waiting.............

First, make the MPG file using "TMPGEnc" in VCD format. Convert this MPG file into DAT file using "VCDGear". That is all!
