If it came from a VCD, then it is already in the format you need, you just need to use a VCD authoring tool to get it onto a disk and burn it.

*.DAT file is already MPEG-compliant. You can convert .DAT file to any format as regular VCD. However, you can not record .DAT file streight to VCD because it contains additional data.
If you want to burn this file to VCD, what you need to do is to multiplex your file to MPEG-1 VCD standart in MPEG Tools section of TMPGEnc.
1) Open File->MPEG Tools in TMPGEnc
2) Go to Multiplex Tab
3) Add your file.
4) Choose "MPEG-1 VideoCD in the "Type" combobox.
5) Choose output file
6) Click "Run".
