Hi there,

I've checked on

VCD ripping

hey

I remember doing it this way:

Code:

1. get mpg from CD
   mount CD
   vcdxrip
    vcdxrip --cdrom-device=/dev/cdrom -v -p

2. create cue/bin
   vcdimager
     vcdimager --type=svcd -v <file>

3. burn
   cdrdao
    cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 12 --buffers 20 -v 1 videocd.cue

If you google for the mentioned programmes, then you will find where to download them

if you want to make a copy of the vcd, just copy it
if you want to get the mpeg off it, copy the .dat files onto the hard drive and rename it to .mpeg, or just associate .dat with the player you use

I haven't seen a vcd in years, so I can't remeber the details - but it really was as easy as that
