I am a linux beginner.I used redhat distribution previously and i couldn't copy my vcd to my hard drive without encoding it with mencoder.
Now i wish to change to mandrake linux 10 and i want to know whether i can copy vcd in mandrake linux directly in to my hard drive without encoding as in microsoft windows?

Dude VCD is just plain mpeg video on a disk you should be able to just copy it using dd.
