   Why would this be required?  Doesn't FFMPEG support VCD files already?

   I have a VCD related problem that I have been meaning to look into. 
I have a couple of .dat files from a couple of different VCDs.  One of 
them plays in my FFMPEG based program and the other causes either 
av_open_input_file() or av_find_stream_info() to return an "unknown 
format" error.  I can't remember exactly at the moment as I am not in 
front of my development computer.

   Why would one VCD .dat file be playable and not the other?
