HandBrake is not a ripper, but you should be able to copy the *.DAT file(s)
from your Video CD to your computer. The *.DAT file contains an mpeg stream.
Not sure if you can feed the *.DAT file directly to HandBrake.
Otherwise there is a little command line helper than can extract to mpeg:
Thanks for the suggestion on vcdgear. When you say to run from Command line, you're talking about a Windows based machine? I'm assuming I would use Terminal if I were running on a Mac. Anyone know if this is the case?

Get VCDGear v1.77 for MacOS X, it's for x86 and PPC and will work in Terminal.
But it might not be necessary. Just tried and HandBrake will happily open and convert avseq0*.dat files.
