It is possible to use Videozilla to convert from
Video CD .DAT video into video formats that supported by Videozilla:
Step 1:
Copy the .DAT file from Video CD to your computer
local Disk eg. C:\ . The .DAT file will usually named as Music***.DAT
or AVSEQ***.DAT and is located in the "MPEGAV" root
folder. If there are several .DAT files and you are unsure which
.DAT to be copied, just play the .DAT with Windows Media Player.
Find Music***.DAT or AVSEQ***.DAT located in "MPEGAV"
folder
Click on Edit Menu, Copy to Folder
Select C:\ and Copy
Step 2:
Now, we will need to change the .DAT filename
into file extension that recognized by Videozilla. We will change
the .DAT file extension into .AVI . If you already know how
to change the file extension, you may skip to step 4.
Step 3:
Click on Start Windows, Control Panel, On the
left Panel, click on "Switch to Classic View". Double
click on Folder Options, View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions
for known file types" checkbox and click on Apply. Click
OK to close. You shall be able to see the file extension that
associated to a file by now.
Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
checkbox and click on Apply
Step 4:
Right click on the Video CD .DAT file located
in local disk eg. C:\ and select Rename. Change the last three
filename characters from DAT to AVI. You shall have Music***.AVI
or AVSEQ***.AVI by now.
Step 5:
Select the Video CD file (end with .AVI), right-click,
Convert to... and select the output format.
