Burn that DAT file with nero into a VCD. Other than that, convert the file into an MPG and burn using Adaptec/Nero/etc/etc

BUT, remember, it has to be in whitebook compliant format to do that!

Have you tried burning the dat file yet. As far as I know, a 700mb cdr can hold up to 80 minutes of video. Don't worry about how big the file is, as long as the video is under 80 minutes long. I've successfully burned VCDs that were 79 minutes long (almost 800 mb).

I've overburned a vcd on an 80 min cdr to 83 minutes and also have had no problems playing it in my mico a980 dvd player. I read that in order to read vcds they should not be burned more than 74 mins. But I think it depends on the player whether it will play more than that. Jav
