How do I convert a .mpg to a .dat to play on DVDplayer

[Troels]

Hi there !

I have a CD with a movie in .MPG format
on the CD there is the following lib.
EXT
MPEG2
AVSEQ01.MPG
SVCD

this CD i can´t view in my DVDPlayer, so I would like to convert the .mpg so that I can view this movie direct in my DVDplayer
any1 now how I do this ?

This looks like a SVCD.Normally, all (99%) DVD standalone players can play such a SVCD (if it's made correctly).If you want a VCD, you have to extract the mpg file to your HDD and convert it to mpeg-1 (VCD).See tutoroial on the left side.But beware, going from SVCD to VCD sacrifies the resolution.

Maybe a stupid question,

do you say that I should bee able to play the CD with the .mpg direct in the DVDplayer ?

If the CD is authored as SVCD, yes- you can play that directly in your standalone player.
Otheriwse, you should burn it as SVCD.
