I invested 25 Rs in a CyberCafe last night and came up with some
softwares that can convert .DAT to .MPEGs and then some editors.. So I
think I will do the conversions first and cheat these expensive video
libraries out of their rotten money.

Another thing.. I think I can buy a DD drive now, after a new job.
TEHEHE. So tell me one thing. Can a DVD drive [usual] write on the DVD
too? Or there are special DVD R/W drives for that? What about the
back-compatibility with CDs?

Thanks a million.
