Convert DAT files from VCDs to play on SD card on IPAC2210

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Hi All

I want to convert VCD movie with .DAT extension into a form that can be
played in windows media player on my IPAQ 2210. I have a 256M SD card and
would like to save the movie there. I thought I could use windows media
encoder but I cant seem to find out how I can do it. Can any one help?

Thanks

Naveed

Will this convert the DAT file to WMV?

You can blow the DAT file straight to a real player file using Helix
producer. Now you've just got to download helix producer and real
player for pocket PC.
