You can convert the .DAT files on the CDs from MPEG format, to something that Windows Movie Maker can recognize.  Check www.papajohn.org > Import Movie Source Files > Video > Discs - DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, for details.\n\nOnce they are converted to an .avi file (with a standard codec), then you can import them into WMM, make edits and save them back out.

To Edit a VCD on your Computer You need some Editing Software on your PC. Like if you only wants to cut some clips from it then you need something like VCDCutter. If any sort of editing is required then there is Movie maker that is a part of xp OS.\n\nYou don't need to capture if VCD in to any other format. If have any editing software you can open the .DAT or .MPG file directly into the Editor.

Adobe Premier is a great software for this purpose, you may also try VCD Cutter too.

"Virtualdub" is definitely the way to go. It is a valuable tool i use often with my TV tuner.\n\nVirtualdub is open source, so there will be multiple versions available online (ALL 100% FREE). Google will give you the real deal in the top results. BUT... There is one release "Virtualdub MPEG2" which I recommend if you work with DVD format video (MPEG2). The plain old "Virtualdub" has no support  for mpeg2.\n\n\nAnother tool which is free is TMPGenc. In the tools option, there is tools for splitting a video file to separate streams "demultiplex" & other options. Good luck.

I just bought a video capture card for $20, it came with the programs I need, I have already created a DVD from .avi files.It runs in my DVD player. It also includes a program, to allow it to run in any DVD drive on my computer.

I use Nero 7 Ultimate Edition. It works great, you just drag and drop the AVI into the CD Project. You can even create custom DVD menus and chapter stops.
