DAT files

Post by Karanight »

I've come across some video CD's that I couldn't rip to kJams when I first started using it. When I look at the disc on the computer the files are DAT files. They're video CD's. Is there a way to use these on kJams yet

VCD & MPEG Tools Works great on some of the disc but not all. On some of the Sunfly VCD's I can only get the menu tracks to convert and the karaoke tracks only convert to AVSEQ04.MPG
Is there another way to do this

not sure what you mean that the track "only" converts to an mpg file? isn't that the goal here?

Sorry I didn't explane that well at all. It's as though the tracks don't convert fully
