Yes, one of our good customers in Hawaii suggested this solution to us. The file name and extension of the raw mpeg file can be renamed to a “*.mpg” extension. Windows Media Player is able to recognize this format. Note: This will only work with mpeg-1 formats (VCD and HQ-VCD Modes) that are created on the VDR-3000. Please see Question 4 above regarding MPEG-2 formats. To achieve this, follow the directions below: Explore your VCD or HQ-VCD disk in Windows Explorer Look for a folder called “MPEGAV” (this is where each track of *.dat files are saved in) Copy the AVSEQ01.DAT file to C:\ or any directory on your hard drive. Right click your “AVSEQ01.DAT” file and choose “Rename” Rename the file (anyname).MPG Then press – Enter The file now appears as a Windows Media Player icon with the name you gave it. The file will now be recognized as such and will open in programs that are compatible with Windows Media Player.
