A VCD doesn't contain a file system, it contains raw data. But as Winblows can't access raw data directly from a device those DAT files are provided which act as gateways to the raw data. GNU/Linux won't copy those files as they don't exist, while in Winblows the actual RAW data pointed to by those DAT files will be encoded to MPEG format and copied on-the-fly. Just copy the file on Winblows and then do a `file` on that on GNU/Linux and you will know. So the only way to copy a VCD on GNU/Linux is to either `dd` it or use some VCD ripping program like vcdimager. Hope that helps ... Regards, BG
