How to Copy damaged files off vcds?

[TonyL]

Hi everyone,

I have a damaged vcd disc that I want to fix. It contains a 600mb .DAT file (typical vcd format) on it. The movie/vcd plays fine with one exception. It freezes at a point halfway through the movie. The parts before that point and after that point plays smoothly. I'm guessing its due to a scratch.

My question is, is it possible to fix this by burning/copying the vcd using some program or other? I can't copy the entire DAT file to the HD due to the scratch. Is there a way I can record/copy the first half (up to the glitch), and then record/copy the second half (after the glitch) and repaste them together?

Thanks in advance,
Tony
