Has anyone sucessfully copied a VCD via command line?
I tried cdrecord -v dev=1,3,0 speed=16 -isosize /dev/scd0
It seemed to work. Here is the output:

and if i diff the two VCD's I get:
diff /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom2

Common subdirectories: /mnt/cdrom/segment and /mnt/cdrom2/segment
Common subdirectories: /mnt/cdrom/vcd and /mnt/cdrom2/vcd
Everything seems copisetic, however the created VCD cannot be played in mplayer, ati vcd player, or my set top box DVD player. The original VCD will play in all of them though.
Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
Can anyone give me an alternitive that works via the command line?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I don't use Linux much at all, but it seems to me that you basically copied the "VCD" as if it were a CD-ROM. That is, simply copied the "filesystem" to a new disc.
This is not a VCD and it won't work...

OK, now I know where I went wrong.
Can anyone give me an alternitive command structure to make this come out right? Suggestion on alternitive apps to make a proper VCD via commandline? -
Off the top of my head I don't remember the arguments, but you need to use cdrdao to copy. cdrecord doesn't do DAO burning.

I "think", that you could probably get away with that old classic, dd, to make an image of the vcd, then just use cdrecord to burn it.
Something like:
dd if=/dev/[whatever] of=vcd.img
where /dev/[whatever] is your CDROM device.
This will hopefully create an image of the vcd called vcd.img, in the current working directory.
