Rather than relying on standard OS utilities the OP should use a specialized application like vcdimager (vcdxrip) mplayer (option -dumpstream) or vlc to extract the mpeg data. Cdrdao and CDRecord (readcd) can clone the VCD itself. I don't know what sort of trickery Windows uses, but I believe VCDs contain mostly raw data streams similar to the ones found in audio CDs (which can be made to appear as files by a clever file browser or burn application). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
