Ulead DVD Movie Factory ERROR !!!!

[badabadmash999]

Hi Guys,
I just Tried Burning my VCD with the Ulead Movie DVD factory software...though its EASY to use and Has a Very GOOD USER FRIENDLY -- Easiest Menu Creating Tool...But it didnt help me ....
.....When I try to select my DAT file of My VCD...It shows a ERROR " Path*.dat is not a Compliant MPEG file...please Select a DVD/VCD/SVCD compliant MPEG file"....by my repeated Efforts I have failed to Understand that "What does a DVD/VCD/Svcd Compliant File Means".......
.....All the Movies on a VCD are in the Dat format...which is of the VCD Format ...so Why Ulead DVD has these Errors......
.......Surprisingly..if I convert a .DAT to .MPEG it accepts that Format....why SOOO....
....also please Tell me whether after BURNING VCD's with ULEAD DVD Movie Factory...Ill be able to :::
--play movies on a Normal VCD players..
--also CAN ulead Burn Movies Upto 80 mins

finally
-- can I save My Project made by ULEAD(that is containing MENUS etc etc ) in a .DAT file format so that I can Burn it as a VCD....

...all Ideas and Suggestions Are Most Welcome....

With best Regards to all of YOU...

& Merry Christmas with a Prosperous New Year 2002,

Sonic ReelDVD 2.5 is a much better program

I'd like to try ReelDVD 2.5. It has to be much better than VP5.

Try extracting the MPEG file from the .dat using VCDgear

Here is my Ulead DVD Movie Factory Error,

it says File Format mismatch,

the specs
a 3gb 720x480( ntsc) by 4000 (cbr)bitrate, 48khz audio 192bit mpeg2 with mpeg1 audio layer...

and it will not accept it, a qucik check of the help section
shows that it it says accepted media for dvd authoring ( not sure if the mpeg1 vs mpeg2 layer for audio will make a difference though..

any thoughts?

So far I am new to this so I am still palying with bitrate setting to get maximun filesize and audio quality and yet still hit my 4.7 max target for my discs blanks.
