I have a VCD which has, among many folders, on folder called MPEGAV, and inside it is a large file (of over 600 MB) with the file extension of .dat. (It is a concert).

I wish to convert this .dat file (or the VCD) into AVI, so that I can edit (cut out some parts of) it.

What software do I use (preferably free). I am using WinXP Home on my Dell Notebook, with lots of disk space and an external Plextor drive, in addition to the DVD/CDR drive which came with the Dell.

I appreciate your help.
