    I have got something from bittorrent, named

    movie.cam.svcd[torrentname.com]

    What should I rename the suffix to, so I can change to dvd?

    I have tried .iso, .dat, .mpg and nothing has worked

    I can't mount it, AVICodec doesn't know it.
    ALl2dvd, AVI2DVD no joy.

    .rar and .zip fail.

    It is 1,624,235KB in size so it does look like the right thing. Any ideas?

    oh and in properties it says it is a

    "COM] File"

    i understand this to be an executable file? or is it just due to the naming..

    Cheers

    I believe what I was reading was the .com in the domain name of the torrent in the name.

    totaltorrents.com]

    so it isn't a .com file at all,

    But I am still left in the position of having a file which I have downloaded, which I don't know the suffix for...

    Yeah you've hit the nail on the head, it does have no extension...

    Guess it is possible that the poster wasn't running windows (OSX, *nix, etc. don't care so much about file extensions).

    Personally I wouldn't download a torrent if I didn't recognise the files it contained. For an SVCD there really should be at least one BIN and one CUE files. Usually you would have more than one disc.

    If it was the mpg extracted, then it is possible that whoever extracted it didn't remove the cdxa/riff header which could prevent some parsers from parsing it.
