Burning a "miscopied" vcd

[georgeb]

Someone made a copy of a VCD for me, but instead of just copying the disk itself, he copied the individual forlers with the *.dat files and the the rest. Is there anyway for me to burn this into a VCD?
I would rather not convert the dats to mpg, recreate the menus (which I like), etc.
Thanks for you help.

And by the way I am using Easy Video CD creator 4.02 (Adaptec).

The answer I think, is no.

The original PBC structure would have been lost if the copy is just a copy of the files, rather than a physical copy of the disc.

Ask that "someone" (*wink*) to recopy the disk properly. Should take max 20 minutes.

btw, in theory all PBC ifnormation is contained in those PSD/LOT files...

but the problem is, that there is no tool I know of, that is able to burn those files into the correct locations.... and vcdxrip needs those files there to be able to re-extract all information...

Strange that no one has done this. I have, this is how:
1) "re-encode" the .DAT file to MPEG file using TMPGEnc cut & join tool. Do not bother to cut or join anything here. Just specify input file (.DAT), output file (.MPG) then hit RUN.
2) burn the resulting MPG file as a VCD
I have done this and it works !!!

Use nero and instaed of putting in the mpg put in the dat.

You've missed the point. The question was whether or not the PBC structure (i.e., the menus, etc.) could be re-created.

vitualis,
you were right, I did not pay attention to the PBC structure, simply because I did not know what it is. However, I have recreated (without menu of course) VCD from .DAT file and it works for me.
