Lol.

All VCD's are read only. The very fact they r on a CD makes them read only.

Rip the files and then click on each one and hit "properties" and uncheck "read only" then hit apply

Would not just a disc to disc copy work?
Something like CloneCD!!??

any disc to disc copy proggy should work.....

Just do a DAO copy with Nero, CDRWin, Clone CD, etc.

You may have unrecoverable sectors on a VCD as the video tracks don't contain ECC. This may cause some copying proggies to baulk. With something like CDRWin, just change the setting on "Error Recovery" to "Ignore" or "Replace" rather than "Abort".
