Is this possible?

[Da Fish]

I'm not sure if this is possible or if I have posted in the right section for this question. I wonder if it is possible to capture from a VHS tape and burn it to CD so it is playable in a car CD player. I have this tape of a concert and I have made a VCD of it but would like to play the music in my car CD player.
Has anyone tried this before and had success?

One option:

Convert the audio from the VCD. Convert the DAT (avseq01.dat, in the mpegav folder) to MPG (see the how to convert guide over there on the left), use virtual dub to extract the audio to an uncompressed WAV file, then burn that to a music CD.

Thanks, I'll try that, I am not really up to speed with this process and I was not aware that a WAV file could be played on a car CD player!

Thanks again.

Tried it and it works fine, thank you.

or an even easier way dude ( if you have a 2pair RCA to one 3,5mm stereo jack cable, available any music store) , plug your l/r audio out from your video(if stereo) and plug into your line in on your sound card, then using any music authoring software of your flavour record the incoming source signal as a wave, then edit, split if neccassary and burn to cd-r for your own grown musik cds.
Done many of these from old vhs and DVD music videos. If you know about audio and the software you can have a lot of fun too.
Hope this helps

You do have to use an Audio CD writing program to make it the correct format. Nero is very good and if you have one large WAV file, you can mark the track start points for the CD. Just be sure to set the pause between tracks to 0 seconds so there is no pause in the concert sound.
