*.DAT or *.MPG in a DVD data disk??

[=CrAzYG33K=]

Hi,

I've a DivX hardware player from LG and it plays gr8!
I've tried playing DivX DVDs and they work perfectly.. but my question is - What happens when I burn *.DAT and *.MPG (VCD formats) in data disc format in DVD?? Will my DivX DVD player recognise it?
I'm really preplexed ..I can try, but that'll amount to one DVD being wasted

Use RW disc. DAT - not sure, but if your player can play MPEG-ISO them .mpg should work.

try! just use dvd-rw/+rw.

many divx players can play mpgs in data mode on dvd...but not all.

many thanx for your replies..
Glad to know MPG & DAT will be supported in DVD Data discs as well.. On the other hand, pretty sad that I din't get a definitive answer

The only definative answer is try it for yourself (it costs you the price of an RW disk - $2) and you will know the answer, definatively. It varies from player to player.

Use a dvd-r ... some players dont take + or rw media .

Where did the OP say that a +R/RW didn't work for them?
