VCD to wma

[Guest]

I converted a wma video to vcd in order to play it on my DVD player. I then
lost the wma video. I would like to be able to play the video on window
media player but it will not play. Do I need to convert it back to wma file?
Is it possible to do that? I have window media player version 10.

===============================
Something to try but no guarantee...

Place the VCD in your DVD drive.

Open Windows Media Player.

Go to...File / Open...

Browse to and Select the drive that the
VCD is in.

If you find a folder named: MPEGAV
open it.

At the bottom of the window...open the
"Files of type" drop window and choose...
"Any File"

You should see something like:
XXXXXXX.DAT

Double click the .dat file and maybe it
will play.

Another thought...

Try copying the xxxx.dat file to your
hard drive and rename it xxxx.avi.

Now you should be able to play it
in WMP.
