How to Convert DAT to MKV Easy & Fast?

There are several types of DAT files, one of which is the .dat file in VCD (Video CD).

When you open VCD on PC, you will see an MPEGAV directory where the AVSEQnn.DAT file is saved. The DAT file is actually MPEG audio and video data file. It adopts MPEG-1 video compression and MP2 audio.

However, unlike other regular videos, DAT files cannot be played on common devices and players, including iPhone, iPad, PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows Media Player. Therefore, it is wise to convert DAT files to common video formats such as MKV, MP4, AVI, or MPG for better playback on devices.
