I've got a question. I have this movie and it is an image file. So I copied the files (which I get when loading the image file in Deamon Tools) to my harddisk with IsoBuster. Now I've got an .DAT file. I can change the extension from DAT to avi and still play the movie with (for example) BSplayer. So I tried loading this avi file in Avi2DVD. That works. But the problem is, that there is no audiostream automatically loaded. And I can't choose an audiostream either. And without an audiostream, Avi2DVD won't convert my movie to a DVD.
Has anyone an idea about what I should do? Do I have to convert the DAT file into an AVI file instead of just changing the extension? And how do I do that?
A .DAT file is a 'riff wile with header', I suppose from a VCD (SVCDs riff files are named AVSEQ01.MPG).
Don't use Isobuster, it is useless to convert 'riff files' into 'true mpegs', it just deals with images. Open VCDGear and make dat --> mpeg from the 'real' VCD (or cue/bin --> mpeg if you have an image) with it, loading D:\MPEGAV\AVSEQ01.DAT (or C:\yourdirectory\image.cue) and saving MOVIE_NAME.MPG on your C: drive.
A little suggestion: if you have a VCD movie, the best thing to do with it is authoring , with DVD Lab, a DVD containing multiple VCD movies (1 2h VCD movie is about 1.2 GB large, and you can fit many of them).
Avoid encoding, in lot of time, a 720x480/576 movie from a 352x240/288 movie. Garbage in = garbage out.
