Will DAT file play on a VCD/DVD standalone playergreenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread |
My standalone DVD player plays VCD cdr with no problem. But I recently purchase another VCD cdr and played it on my DVD player and it wont work. I put it on my pc and it works fine, I noticed the files are in .dat format. Will Standalone VCD/DVD players play VCDs recorded on .dat format? Or does the .dat format have to be converted to .mpeg format to be played on a VCD/DVD player? Please help.

You should do a bit of reading here and on www.vcdhelp.com as this question has been answered hundreds of times already.A DVD player that can play VCD's cannot necessarily play HOMEMADE VCD's. It has to be capable of reading CDR or CD-RW disc's! Many cannot!

I should either have had more coffee b4 posting my last post... or less!Are you saying that your DVD player WILL PLAY home burned CD-R's??? As far as I know, all VCD's have mpegs with .dat extension instead of .mpg. So that shoulden't be a problem. The only question is Can your DVD player play CD-R's?????

Well, maybe you should again measure your coffe intake before the 2nd post,leebo!Vesee said in 1st sentence that it plays cdr no problem. I guess the brand of the cdr matters, or rather the colour/reflectiveness?
So, not all brands of cdr works in your player. And yes, all VCDs are in .DAT format. Why not have a look at those disc that can be played?
