I keep getting an error when I try and drag and drop or import an mpeg from a SVCD.

Anyway round this???

SVCD's don't have MPEG files. Rather, they have .dat files.

What you need is VCD Copy X. Run this app, and the .dat file will be "ripped" into a MPEG file which you can then use.

Thanks, that works. But why can' the OS copy the Mpg or Dat file???

OSX doesn't include native support for reading data off of the "White book" CD standard that VCDs use (also known as multi-track CD-ROM/XA). Several flavors of Windows do but not all have it by default either.

Those more in the know, please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
