Hello,

YES!

Look up VCD-DVD.

Many authoring programs like TMPGENC DVD AUTHOR will convert it for you.

Since its on cd now you'll need isobuster to remove the mpg video from the .dat file.

Thank you but ATM prefer yoda's suggestion
Thanks reboot I am not familar with dvdlab I heard terrific reviews but I will not be comfortable unless I read the guides first

I hear Action Replay Max can now play video on the ps2 with their converter.

But easier to just buy a cheap dvd player for $25 that plays vcd.

It's actually simpler (IMHO) and quicker doing it my way.
Yoda's way works just as well, but takes more steps, and more time.

VCD-DVD is nice.. fit 7-8 hours of vcd qaulity video on 1 dvd.. but you need to make sure the audio is changed from 44.1khz to 48khz.... I have authored several dvd's like this.. mostly political movies

I'd just drop it into TMPGEnc DVD Author (just like you would any other DVD-compliant file), and it'll do the audio resample automatically for you while it's outputting. Can't get any simpler than that IMHO

Now I hit the snag with TMPGEnc DVD Author
it complains having a roblem with GOP and don't know how to fix this problem
All I did was to extract the tracks with isobuster as track2 but since there were two VCD tracks I decided to rename them in sequence that is 1 and 2
What do I do to change GOP?
thanks

I make this:
1. convert dat->mpeg with VCDGear (chek "Fix MPEG errors"). I don't know why, but i don't have problems.
2. Go to TMPGE Author. Each VCD - new track.

If you still have problem with GOPs - recompress with TMPGEnc & Wizard & Hi-bitrate (up to 2500 - for not loss quality).

MPEG-VCR has a GOP fixer which has worked for me in the past. Also, I have read that demuxing and then remuxing using something like TMPGEnc's MPEG Tools has fixed GOPs in the past, but don't hold me to that.
