<P>About .DAT files:</P>
<P>The ~600 MB file visible on the first track of the mounted vcd isn't a real
track! It's a so called iso gateway, created to allow Windows to handle such
file! It's a so called iso gateway, created to allow Windows to handle such
tracks (Windows doesn't allow raw device access to applications at all).
Under linux, you cannot copy or play such files (they contain garbage).
Under Windows it is possible as its iso9660 driver emulates the raw reading of
tracks in this file.
To play a .DAT file you need a kernel driver which can be found on a powerdvd
Linux version. It is a modified iso9660 fs driver, which is able to emulate the
tracks in this file. To play a .DAT file you need a kernel driver which can be
found in the Linux version of PowerDVD. It has a modified iso9660 filesystem
(vcdfs/isofs-2.4.X.o) driver, which is able to emulate the
raw tracks through this shadow .DAT file. If you mount the disc using their
driver, you can copy and even play .DAT files with mplayer. But it <B>won't

use the <CODE>-vcd</CODE> option instead. Alternate options for VCD copy are
