Hi all, Before I get started, I want to thank you for the guides, I have used at least 4 of them with excellent results. Now for my questions: I have 1 movie, the movie is devided in to parts, Cd1.dat and Cd2.dat. I would like to know (so I can better understand), how are the .dat files made? And how can they be used. I would like to burn these files to a DVD so I can view them on my table top DVD player. Am I wasteing drive space and time? I have used the search function and searched .dat, I had a few hits asking the same question but I was unable to locate a reply (if any). Thank you in advance........
.dat files are commonly used in VCDs for carrying video and sound data. Sometimes burn programs (e.g. Nero)can copy/burn the .dat files directly. Other times when they can't, you may then first convert the .dat files into mpeg format before burning. VCD Gear is a nice FREE program to do that. See here: http://www.vcdgear.com/ When you burn the converted mpeg files using programs like Nero, they would then in turn be converted back into .dat files. That's how things go. *_*
