I bought some vcd's in Indonesia and I would like to be able to play them on my cd-player. Just downloaded Virtual Dub, but this does not seem to work,I cannot open 'Save WAF-file' Can somebody help me? I am very stupid with these things!

Regards, Karin

This conversion is possible, but complicated. One way I can think of to do it is to use VCDGear (do a web search to find it) to convert the VCD *.dat file(s) to MPEG-1 format. Then you can use TMPGenc (http://www.tmpgenc.net) to demultiplex the MPEG-1 file into separate audio and video streams. Finally, you can use BeSweet (http://www.doom9.net in the Downloads section) to convert the MPEG audio you got after demuxing to WAV format, which will burn to audio CD. I don't remember, but the audio may be called MPA or MP2. Anyway, once you have BeSweet (get the BeSweet GUI also) it's pretty easy to do the conversion to WAV.

Much easier than that. No conversion needed. At least I've done it:

1) Copy the DAT to your hard drive, e.g. AVSEQ01.DAT 2) Change its extension to MPG: AVSEQ01.MPG 3) Open it with GoldWave, or CoolEdit, and save it as WAV: File_name.wav 4) Burn this WAV into the CD
