I just got done placing a large number of *.mpg (MPEG) files onto VCDs. For the latter ones, I kept the *.mpg files around, but for the earlier ones I had been deleting them as I went along.
To recover MPEG files from an existing VCD:
1. Insert the VCD
2. There will be several directories. Open the "MPEGAV" directory.
3. Inside that directory is a "AVSEQ01.DAT" file.
4. Copy this file.
5. Rename the file to "*.mpg".
6. It should now be able to open in a good video player program.
