I recently downloaded some MPEG-1 files from the internet and I am trying to find a converter that can effectively convert them into .dat files that could run on a DVD player. I have tried to renamed the files, but to no avail. Please show me how to make DVD-compatible personal VCD's. Thanks.

You have probably been using the data format, those will not work on a DVD player. You need software designed for creating Video CDs. Also, unless you MPEG video files are VCD ready, you will also need a VCD Encoder like LSX or Xing. I use EZ-CD Creator Deluxe 3.01 (VCD Creator is included which you use) and it works for me but others it does not work for. Good Luck Jay
