IMfail so that the location of the fault can be seen. NZNOG is the place to go to find someone more helpful. But really, you need to log a fault ticket with the helpdesk first and then ask for it to be esculated past level one. You need to ask to speak to the team leader.

Re: VCD images
Thanks for the link. I think I have it solved now.

VCD images
I have some old VCDs (video CDs) which I would like to save as MPEG movies on my HDD. I can read the disk images using: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_file But I have been unable to play the resulting .dat movie files from these images. I suspect part of the problem may be that dd is not reading all the information required from the disk. Apparently VCDs don't use a standard CD filesystem, in order to cram more data onto each disk. In a forum a read that the bin/cue disk image format extracts more data than iso images (i.e. the bin file is larger than the equivalent iso file), and that this is required for getting proper VCD images. Does anyone know how I can extract a bin/cue format image from my VCDs? Cheers, Rob
