So how can i copy VCD into my hard disk.
VCDs use a different sector size (2352 bytes I think) compared to the 2048 byte sectors on a data CD. So regular file tools cannot handle the odd sector size. The first track of a VCD is a iso9660 filesystem describing the VCD. The actual data is in the second track and is not in the ISO9660 format. So even though you can mount a VCD and see the files, trying to read the files will result in errors because of the different sector size. I suggest using VCDRip to extract the video information into MPEG files and then use a MPEG player to play them. -Naren _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
