> Just to a file that i can edit and keep on my hd mean while > If you want to 'edit' the file, then that's potentially a bigger problem since you will need to check what video codecs are supported by the editting software you wish to use and that will probably require conversion to a format that is acceptable to your video editor software. If you do actually want to "edit" the file - i.e. make cuts, etc. send another mail mentioning what video editor software you plan to use and I can give you some options for conversion. But for copying CD to CD, the ISO method suggested by Onkar should work.

Although the other tools mentioned on the list like Acidrip, etc. should probably be preferred since they are more designed specifically to rip VCD / DVDs..
