The DVD Rip Guides web site is very good. I have ripped DVDs to 3 CDs at very high quality from this sites info.

I think the VCD format is pretty strict and for it to be played properly, the video is renamed to a dat file.

VCD is not very strict. Its the player thet governs the resolution and bitrates. I've sucessfully played a full DVD quality VCD with a 2500 bitrate on my Sony player

Check here for your players compatibility
