I think : "YES !"

Try to convert DAT files to MPG (using DAT2MPEG or VCD cutter). Use CeQuarat Win on CD VideoPack to produce Video CD from MPG.

You have to convert the .dat files to mpg files that are VCD compliant. I have used IFilm Edit 3.0 and Ulead Video Studio 3.0 to do this. Then I used Quadrat WinOn CD to finally output to a disc.

Actually, I've yet to find a DAT that could not be burned as is through Adaptec VCD Creator on EZCD Creator 3.0. No need to convert if you get this program. And yes, they play in my dedicated VCD player.

I've used winOnCD v.3.7 and it is suitable for this aim. and I suggest you to use this software. also I use VCDgear for converting dat-->mpg
