Hi guys, i was wondering if there was an easy program to rip a VCD. I know i can take the .dat file onto the hdd ,but the mpeg stream is mpeg1 video w//mp2 audio i believe.
Is there an easy way to strip the audio out to a wav so that i could possibly cut tracks out of it and then reencode it into aac or mp3, so that i listen to the concert on my ipod?
thanks

1st of all, use VCDGear to convert the dat file to mpeg. Then, there are lots of progs you can use to extract the audio part of the video like virtualdub.
vcdgear isnt nessary i believe, u can just rename it from dat to avi.
but thanks for vitrualdub i think this program will work dandy

Renaming it to AVI wouldn't make much sense, as it's not an AVI. 
Renaming it to MPG usually works, however there are differences between the DAT file and the MPG file that it came from, and so using something like VCDGear is recommended, to make sure it's fully compatible.
