Hi,
I ahave Red Hat 9 , PIII 800 system. When I try to copy the .dat VCD files to hard disk I get an "IO Error". Both in KDE and Gnome. I tried root logging also. It also tried using my Dvd drive nad Cd drive.
Still no use. But i can play the VCD using mplayer!!!

I tried using MEncoder also as stated by a reply but MEncoder gives me a reply that the .Dat file is of "unknown file format". But I copied the .DAT file from m windows(which i also have) and the mounted the fat32 drive and used MEncoder. This time I got an .AVI file.

Help me. AGAIN !!!

install mplayer if u don't have one then give the command...
mencoder vcd://<tracknumber> -ovc copy -oac copy.... this information i got it from another
threadhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/...readid=1486439

did you check it out... Did you get any results ... i have not got any results... if you get .... any information regarding plzzzz inform me....

hey i got through copying the vcd's ... what about you...

I wanted to read this thread but you have messed up the link.

oops i am really sorry for that...

actuallly this was my first attempt to post a related thread...

Would it be possible to post that thread with the link corrected? From your
instructions here I don't quite understand. It looks as if you're copying only
one track at a time.

Thanks

this is what i got from the address bar for the thread i meant...
please check this out and tell whether this works or not... so i can rectify the mistake i have done earlier....

sorrry once again for the inconvenience... caused to you by my mistake....

Thank you very much, the link now works and I will read your thread. I live in China,
and we have very many VCD's. My daughter has some VCD's that we got from the US,
and we wouldn't be able to get another copy, so I like to keep a backup. Since I am not
using Windoze anymore, I need to burn VCD's in Linux.

That is great to listen from you that u are not using windoze any more...
i am your neighbour from india.. i am a student and linux enthusiast ....
thanks very very much to give me an oppurtunity to refine on my knowledge...
thanks once again....
