There is probably no easier way of enjoying your VCD and SVCD videos in your mobile phone than by re-encoding those using Cool DAT To 3GP Converter. Mainly because finding a conversion tool that can be compared to it in the ease of use is not that simple. Its highly simplified interface, the quality presets available, and its batch capabilities make it a conversion tool that everyone can use.
DAT files contain the video and audio streams of VCDs and SVCDs. They are, in fact, MPEG files of lower quality than those used for standard DVDs, but they are easily converted into formats supported by 3GP containers. However, to do the batch conversion, you will need to copy the DAT files into disc first – otherwise, you can convert one VCD at a time.
As for the output quality, the easiest way is to make use of the presets available. If you find them a bit too vague (Very High, Medium, Low, etc.), you can always open the custom settings dialog and define specific bit rates, frame rate, aspect ratio, etc. As a bonus, you can crop and pad the source video to make it fit your mobile phone’s screen, or to get rid of unwanted black bars or logos. Whatever settings you choose, the conversion speed offered by this tool will certainly surprise you.
