BTW u cant convert a *.DAT file to an MPEG by simply renaming it..........
that leads to A/V sync problems in case u wanna encode it ......... and a *.DAT file is a container for MPEG ............... not MPEG by it self.....

try converting *.dat to *.mpg using VCD Gear u'll notice the *.mpg is smaller than the *.dat cos the redundant data is removed from the DAT file........

dude i guess ur doin ur engineering down south, HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL .......... U FREAKED ME OUT with ur knowledge of Bits n Bytes............

hey b4 u make statements like 700MB is actually 716MB try n think abt what u said.............

Dude u quoted 1KB = 1024 bytes
then u multiply 700x1024 = 716,800

then u write it as 716.8 MB .........is this vedic/newtonian maths or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!

700MB == 716,800KB == 734,003,200Bytes

U cannot write it as 717MB just by shifting the decimal........that way i can say:

700MB == 734.003MB by the second conversion i have derived......................Ur contradicting ur self.........!!!!

to get KBs from bytes u divide by 1024 ... n to get MBs from KBs u further divide by 1024......

The multiplication n division have to b symmetrical dude.........u cant just shift decimal places.......


The only place where these conversion rules r not follwed is by hard disk manufacturers......n everyone might have noticed that when u buy an 80GB HDD u never get 80GB but when u goto ur BIOS n chk the size it shows u 80,000,000,000 bytes

N when Windows displays its size it does so using the divide by 1024 RULE.....

So ul get a size of 76,293MB minus some overhead....

Cheak It OUT!!!
