yuk. why would you want to? its already been compressed with MP2!
suppose you could do if you really wanted to - youre best best,
quality wise would be to decode the .DAT MPEG-2 AV stream, and split
out the audio and video components, and re-encode the audio tracks
as MP3. - id expect youd get a quality drop though.

Failing that, then i suppose the "easy" way would be to play it on
one PC, and sample the sound output from one soundcard, and feed it
directly into the LINE-IN of a 2nd PC re-sampling it?

if you want to go via the software approach, try using Xing's
MPEGEncoder V2.20 - i think this will do what you want.
try www.xingtech.com for a fully working demo version of the s'ware.

its around.. oo.... 3Mb? give thata spin - ya get 30 days.
(theres a crack to break the restriction if you "need more time" ;) )

(ps: even if you dont use if for decoding, its bloody fast at MP3
encoding!)

g'luck.
