corrupt vcd?! :(

[theboywonder]

Hi,

I have a music vcd ... on two of the chapters it skips a bit, and beeps although for the majority of them it is fine (tried in Windvd and Win Media Player).......

I wanted to rip the chapters and re-encode them, synching with the audio track from the cd (yes, they are the same versions ) but it wont rip. VCDgear just stops midway through...

TMPGEnc imports and encodes the whole file, but it messes up after a few seconds and remains on that frame for the whole mpg (freezes both on the encoding view screen, and when played back).

Virtualdub won't import at all, claiming there is a packet error.

Any ideas?! Is there any program that will record mpg whilst streaming it?

Regards,
robin

Try extracting the CD as a CUE/BIN image with CDRWin (and set it to ignore errors -- your disc probably has some unrecoverable errors).

Then use VCDGear to try to extract the mpeg.

thanx. that worked a treat

(i made the bin, then extracted the mpg from that using isobuster - then tmpgenc would re-encode with a wave input for audio)
