Etymonix Media Raiderv1.30

The program can quickly and easily convert multiple Video CD, CD-I movie, CDRWin BIN, or WinImage ISO files in batch mode to the MPEG audiovisual format. An innovative "AutoScan" option automatically searches all SCSI and IDE CD-ROM drives for Video CD files and CD-I movie discs.

Video CD is a common CD format used to store MPEG audio and video on CD-ROMs. It is popular for such uses as movies, Karaoke and documentaries. It is 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 and CUE files are a format that contains an image of all the sectors on a CD. BIN files (created with GoldenHawk 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. CUE files are not needed for this extraction from BIN.

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).
