Don't do that unless you want to re-encode the video, which can take a while. To get the mpeg with mencoder try this: mencoder vcd://1 -o file.mpg -cdrom-device /dev/cdrw_ide \ -of mpeg -oac copy -ovc copy Or even better from the vcdimager tools: vcdxrip --track 1 -C /dev/cdrw_ide ~Scott _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
