  1. Hi,

    I have some VCDs that I can no longer find in stores. I would like to back them up. But I found out that the VCD is corrupted. It still plays, but I have to load it into the tray a couple of times before the system recognizes it.

    When I tried making an image of it into my PC, and gives me an error message and shuts down the operation.

    How do I save a copy of this movie? It does have to be a VCD again. I just want the movie playable.

    You can use IsoBuster extract the mpeg from the vcd and
    then burn it back to cd-r.

    There guides for it.

  3. Thanks, but it did not work.

    It was stuck at 3% for half an hour. It cannot be saved.

  4. Find a white wax candle. Rub gently all over the media surface (not the top silly ), polish with a soft, lint free, cloth.
    Try again.
    I've ressurrected many (S)VCD/DVD that my kids have had "hands on" experience with.

    I have had it stay at 6% for 2 hours and got everything off the CD.

  6. Rub gently all over the media surface (not the top silly ),
    Which is the surface and which is the top? Surface and top is the same to me.

    I have had it stay at 6% for 2 hours and got everything off the CD.
    Upon the first bad sector, a pop up screen showed up. Which did you choose out of the 4 options?

  7. Heh, media surface would be the bottom. Sorry for the confusion.

    I'm not sure if you can do what you want with the free version.

  9. Also if it can be played , I am very sure ISObuster will get the files off.
