dat file to mpg query

[sheepish]

I have been using vcdgear to convert .dat(vcd movies) to mpg format regularly.

Problem that I have just encountered is:

vcdgear fails to open the .dat file in the mpegav folder so stumping me from converting it.
It says it cannot open it.
It does not happen on every disc.
It seems to be very unpredictable, also removed and reinstalled it but to no avail.

Would it be possible it was the way the original was produced(software)

Any ideas--------- y`all

Maybe it's the disc, have you tried copying the .dat to the computer just to make sure it's readable? There is also other tools to do that.

Never thought of that.Will try cheers.

Is there any other dat to mpg converters that u know of?

I am a dumbass.

Copied it to the hd no probs and vcdgear converted it fine.

Cheers for the savvy adjustment crahak
