In windows I simply copy .dat files from video cd to the harddisk.BUT in
GNOME or KDE when I rightclick and copy using same windows method or using command line ,I cannot copy.I get some error message.So I turned on the 32bit mode and DMA in linux eventhough I cannot copy .
The problem, if I recall, is that the .dat files 'point' to other sessions on the multisession disc. I believe that even a VCD with only 1 video file still has 2 sessions. By far the easiest way would be to use a ripper programme, or use mplayer to rip it.
You can use vcdxrip to rip the vcd tracks to playable mpegs. Or you can use cdrdao to make a bin/toc cd image of the vcd (Mplayer will play vcd .bins). Or you can use mplayer/mencoder to reencode the vcd to divx.
