Ripping a VCD problem

[Washac]

Hi


I have a VCD that I want to rip the Mpegs from and make them into a DVD.

VcdGearX trys for ages and in the end I have to force quit the program.

If I try to do a disk image from Toast 6 I get an error message saying:-

Couldn't complete the last command because there was an I/O error
( Your disc may be copy protected )
Result Code = -36

This VCD plays fine.

Is there anyway I can get the movie files from this disc?

a little known (apparently) method is to use toast 6, choose "Disc Info" from the "Recorder" menu.
a list of tracks will appear, you can select and save mpegs directly from here.
I've found this to be a very reliable and simple method.

Hi sdm


Thanks for this snippet of information regarding Toast 6, I did not realise that you could this.

It worked a treat, thankyou

I have the same problem of copying the files of this VCD to my harddisk but it keeps giving me the error "can not copy ... invalid ms-dos functions". What VCD Copy X tool did you try to mention? Please help

Thank you Serbian, but this software work for Mac system only right? Unfortunately mine is Windows XP SP2 so I gues I can't try.
