encoding a dat to vcd

[budgirl357]

I finally downloaded my first complete file from mirc, and now I don't know what to do with it. I am used to encoding files like avi andivx, and this is the first time i have ever had a file like this. I think it is a dat, because it has the same icon as dat files. but the type of extension is "ts." What is this? I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do from this point. I am so anxious to see what I have!

thanks,

Nero supports .dat files so if it is a dat file you should be able to burn it right now the way it is....

the extension is .ts? i dont know what tyore of file that is... i think its a movie file but thats all i know.

but gmpman is right, if its just a .dat file then it can be recognized by nero.

TS usually stands for Telesync i could be wrong see if you can open it in Windows Media player and if you can just burn with nero to vcd

Actually, thanks to the ops on #vcdhelp on dalnet, I got my answer and it was the right one. All I did was rename the file and add an .avi instead of that wierd .ts shit, and I was good to go. The movie turned out pretty cool too! Thanks again LIQUID 217!
