VCD to MPEG-4The first step is to convert DAT, the file of VCD, to MPEG-1.To make this done, you can harness the re-recoding function of Super Codec, and convert the needed section to AVI file , and store away. Then use VirtualDub 1.3 to complete the conversion, creating a MPEG-4 video file. VirualDub supports ‘Normal’ and ‘Highest’ converting rate, for background and fast conversion respectively. MPEG-4 file is 3 times smaller than the original one, and allows you to optimize every part of the movie, while maintaining compatibility. The format contains a wide variety of compression technologies to deliver the best performance for every kind of content.
