Urgent. Need Help!!

You'll have to manually extract all the episodes from the VCDs. They are usually .DAT files in the MPEG?? folder on the VCDs. So extract the episodes (Some .DATs are those credits and junk stuff) and rename the .DAT to .mpg. Then you can burn DVDs using a CD burning software and simply drag the MPG files in.Originally posted by babymac13:Tell her to burn CD to CD, then shld not have any problem watching regardless on the computer, VCD or DVD player.
Well, my question is can I burn a serial of VCDs into a DVD R and watch on a VCD/ DVD player?
How? -

Your method is risky, could end up with some codec errors.Originally posted by chanff8:You'll have to manually extract all the episodes from the VCDs.

No. Data discs are for computers and certain players capable of displaying folder and file paths.Originally posted by babymac13:Can VCD player read mpg files when u burn as data?
Not really. I've tried it many times before. Cos when you burn VCDs its converted into mpg format first. This is why the CD burning software straight away burn mpg files into VCDs, while burning other formats like avi the CD burning software will take time to encode it first.Originally posted by photo_seeker:Your method is risky, could end up with some codec errors. -
okok .. i will try it next time if i got any serial on hands.
Thanks for sharing ur knowledge. -
aiyoh..
do u have a cd writer?
u need a program dat converts files into vcd format, or Dvd format.
like NERO, Sony or sth..
den if u have a normal cd writer, vcd format.
if u have a DVD burner also, better still, can convert like say 2-3 of yr avi or dat files n store as dvd.
budden warning, like dey said, mebbe gt errors. like sound nt so clear n stuff.
i tink d most error-free so far i've done is juz stick 2 vcd format.
burnin dvd.. smtimes i burn until wanna cry coz take so long, or quality nt so gd, or halfway gt prob....

How?
as some has suggested here u can try...but make sure u make duplicates of the .dat file/s u wanna experience with so if u should fail u still have backup of the similar dat file. change the extension to.mpg or simply change the properties to .mpg...the other methods of writing motion pic files to dvd-r should be similar....comply the serial into the dvd and burn. the dvd-r can play in your comp dvd-rom (ico regional code) and dvd players with tv. it cannot play in comp cd-rom and vcd-player with tv since its encoded in DVD
if all your hardware are good stuff and with the appropriate coying/ playback programmes i dun see why u cannot perform all the above
