Thanks a lot to all who replied. I am sorry for being late in reading (and replying) to the mails (my sancharnet connection was down).
So, from all the replies to this thread, it is clear to me that using 'dd' or mounting and copying the vcd to a hard disk and then writing the vcd image will not be possible. Rajesh suggested that cdrdao can be used. I have not yet used it but since I found vcdimager in the Mandrake 8.1 CDs, I used it. But now, I am facing another problem (rather, I am confused). vcdimager created two files, viz. "videocd.bin" and "videocd.cue". The cue file is a simple text file containing the names of the tracks, while mplayer can directly play the bin file. So I thought I will have to burn the bin file to the blank CD. I cannot say that I was fully successful. When I play from the CD I wrote, there is only one track containg all the five tracks present in the original CD. I cannot choose which one I want to play using 'mplayer vcd://2'. So, I would like to know whether I have to burn both the files. If yes, what should be the procedure: $ cdwrite -v dev=0,0,0 videocd.bin videocd.cue OR $ cdwrite -v dev=0,0,0 videocd.cue videocd.bin OR $ mkisofs -r -J -o videocd.iso videocd.cue videocd.bin $ cdwrite -v dev=0,0,0 videocd.iso Regards, Santanu Chatterjee [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
