    Someone told me today that if you create MPEGs from DAT files on VCDs that there is a loss of quality. I have done this many times and have never noticed any difference. Is there really a loss or is it all a bunch of hoopla?

    Thanks

    Yes, but I would venture to say that 99% of the time, the loss is not noticeable.

    DAT files are the same MPEGs plus some storage info added to them. This is what I have read several times in this forum and on websites explaining vcd structure.
    But I don't know the exact difference, can anyone guide me on this?
    I think there is no reason for a quality loss(even 0.01%), please correct me by saying why and how a loss of quality happens in a dat-mpeg convertion process?
