Using VCDGear gave me this error:
Specified DAT file has an invalid XA header signature
and:
Corruption might occur for non-valid pack sized MPEGs
I tried using VCDEasy and recieved this error:
unknown chunk id [] encountered (The file is not a MPEG file with Riff header [.dat file])
basically told me it wasn't a DAT file and it wouldn't convert it to mpeg. I have downloaded TMPGEnc but have yet to understand how to use it.
Do I have a corrupt file and just need to forget it?
Will TMPGEnc do any better? If so, any links for help or advice is welcome.
I had a bin of the VCD, used ISOBuster to extract it the *.dat file, and got this error, could this be a problem?
Thank you,
