113674 2003-01-14 06:47:00 I'm wanting to join 2 and in some cases 3 VCD dat files together to form 1 large complete video .dat file that can then be played as a single unit. Could someone please let me know what software I can use (freeware is best) to do this. I'm running a Windows XP Pro, 256 RAM, system. Thanks in advance. PressF1 User (1065)

Wait and see what Tweak'e says on it :)

113676 2003-01-14 08:03:00 What you are calling .DAT files are actually standard MPEG videos that have been renamed to be VCD\SVCD compliant.
So therefore you need an MPEG splitting program.
You can find a couple on KaZaA (that are actually free), but I haven't used HTTP to find one of these programs.

Have phun!

113678 2003-01-15 00:47:00 Thanks for your helpful advice Tweak'e. I used the TMPGEnc program which worked very quickly and was easy for me to use. There was no loss of quality in the output file which was good to see. Cheers :-) PressF1 User (1065)
