saved mpg file of vcd cutter not playable

[Ramakrishnan]

I am using vcd cutter for ripping video from vcd's. But the problem is the ripped video is not playable in any of the media players. I have tried VLC media player. I have also tried software like sherlock, gspot etc. I have even installed K-lite codec mega pack full. But still problem is not solved. Can anybody give me an insight into this?

well I could play it in windows media player.... try saving it some another format like avi,mpeg4 etc...

save as mpg or avi file and not as dat file. This should solve your problem.

I saved it as mpg only. This problem started expecially in my new pc running win xp. previously I had win98 and it was running smoothly

You may be right. Some setting in win xp may not be conducive to the proper working of this software. I anybody knows these settings, please post them.
