Starting point: DAT - DAT is the Video-CD sector dump wrapping MPEG-1 streams. Rip sector headers first; raw sector dumps may fail to open. Only the embedded video track converts; scripts and buttons are dropped. Encode SWF (Sorenson Spark / MP3) from DAT at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
