Media Raider is a Windows application that converts multiple formats (Video CD, CD-I, CDRWIN BIN and WinImage ISO files) to MPEG system/audio/video. Please note that AVI and MOV (QuickTime) files are not yet supported.
Video CD is a common CD format used to store MPEG data (audio/video) on CD-ROMs. It's popular for such uses as movies, Karaoke and documentaries. It's also great for home videos. Video CD files typically use the "DAT" extension.
CD-I is short for CD-Interactive and is an older CD format used for movies and interactive games. CD-I movies contain both audio and video data but not all CD-I discs contain MPEG data. Media Raider only supports extraction from CD-I movies.
CDRWin BIN/CUE is a file format that contains an image of all the sectors on a CD. BIN files (created with Golden Hawk Technology's CDRWin software) are used for CD authoring and distribution. Media Raider supports extraction of the MPEG data from BIN files containing Video CD or CD-I Movie data.
Similarly, WinImage ISO is a file format that contains an image of all the sectors on a CD. Media Raider supports extraction of the MPEG data from ISO files containing Video CD or CD-I movie data.
The MPEG files that are generated by Media Raider can be played back with any standard MPEG player and can be imported into any editing application that supports MPEG such as Adobe Premiere. Some third-party tools can be used to further convert the MPEG files to other formats (like AVI or QuickTime).
