Are there any programs that will allow me to rip from a dvd(using dvd player) and save it as a DAT(video cd format) file instead of Mpeg? Because my dvd/vcd player wont recognize mpeg.

If you use a program like Adaptecs EZ CD Creators, Video Creator it will convert the mpg to a dat for you during the mastering process.

You really don't need a mpeg to dat converter. The burning process is where the dat is created.

Hi>All.

I'd like to share the experience of the way to convert DVD's *.vob files to VCD's *.dat files.

Please use "Dvd2MpgSqueezer" or "FlaskMPEG" to convert DVD's "*.vob" files to MPEG-1 video files and MPEG Layer-2 audio files. You can also use Panasonic MPEG-1 Encoder to encode "DeCss" *.vob files.

The final step is to merge video and audio files by using "Xing MPEG Encoder" and select VCD format. Then you'll get *.mpg files and you'll be able to record to a CD-R to be a Video CD.
