Hi all,
Ive got hold of a brilliant VCD, its "Best Motoring" and has a head to head race STI7 vs STI8, 4 different scoobies Vs 2 evos, basically its wicked.
On the disc is a .dat file which I can play in Win Media, but how can I convert this file into an MPeg?????
Any ideas? Copy to the winnning answer

You just need to use VCDGear. Simple.
A DAT file is basically an MPEG file with the exception that it is bigger - but for a good reason. A DAT file contains extra information inside such as error correction information and extra sector information, but it also contains the MPEG stream. The MPEG file, of course, does not contain all the extra data that a DAT contains and is smaller.
VCD will strip the extra info out leaving you with just the mpeg stream.
