Problems making a copy of VCD

[Lazylad]

Hello All,

I've tried to search out an answer but the ones I've read don't seem to work. I burn VCDs and SVCDs straight from bin/cue files and they work great. Now I would like to burn a copy of a disc for my friend but can't do it. I've used CDRWin's Backup Disc function, CloneCD, and Adaptec CD Copier with no luck. My system just hangs or gets half way through and gives me an error. It should be as simple as copying any other CD right? What am I doing wrong.

Yes, it should be as easy as copying any other CD.

However, as the video data on a S/VCD doesn't have ECC (error correction codes) like a CD-ROM, you may be having difficulty reading some sectors.

Try CloneCD or the BlindRead/Write suite. You may need to relax some of the error handling. That is, rather than have the proggy stop extracting if it hits unrecoverable sectors, rather zero them out. The resultant disc will probably have a glitch in it, but there is little more that you can do.

Regards.
