  1. Hi all

    I have some VCD's which are part corrupted. The CD itself is not physically
    damaged, but it will lockup the player at a specific point in the video. If
    you forward past the point by a few seconds, it will continue as normal.
    What I would like to do is burn these VCD's to CDR's, but removing the
    corrupted parts in the process, so I end up with VCD's that play right
    through instead of me having to manually forward past the corrupted parts.
    Is there any software I can use to do this?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Z7

    Your VCD might have MPEG Blocks in it.

  3. Update:

    I have done some testing, and it appears that certain sectors on the VCD are unreadable. These sectors are used by the MPEG video, which is why the player is locking up. I have a tool now which will allow me to recover as much as possible from the CD and copy it to the hard drive. It appears to be working so far. Once the process is complete, I can simply burn the files back to CDR.
