i have been trying for quite some time to copy my video Cd's whle working on linux
each time some CD ui had to cpy, i had to start Windows,
in linux it mounted the CD but could not copy that.
from the forum at this site i got to know that we need CDFS driver for mounting my VCD drives
then i started search for CDFS driver and found one for 2.5 kernel.
i again got stuck here,i personally wrote to the autjor of the driver and he soon came up with driver for 2.6 kernel and now i have this working nd i do not need shift to windows everytime
also i have sen that some CD's which do not get copied on to windows are copied in linux using thios driver
I dont think you would need this driver to do what you want - I don't have any VCDs but have watched one once with the use of Knoppix - because that Windows-box would not work properly I booted up Knoppix and we where all set...
VCDs are organized in a special way - you do not mount them to watch or copy them - as you can do with DVDs - but you do not need to mount them eighter to play them...as well as music-CDs
i could play VCD with Xine also
the problem faced was in copying them to my harddisk
i tried mplayer too but could not get it
now i am happy woth cdfs driver which is very easy to use and nice too
The way I usually copy a DVD to harddisk (to encode it later, and not having to do it on-the-fly with the DVD needing to be present until everything is done...) is this:
There is a command line tool called "vcdimager", It has a tool called
"vcdxrip".
With this you can mount your vcd, cd to whatever dir you wish to copy
the vcd to and type:
vcdxrip
In a few minutes you will have an mpg.
A program called "vobcopy" will do the same with dvd's, either in 2gig
chunks or as one big vob.
I am trying to do the same here and I need shell tools because I can only login to the computer. I need to be able to extract the vcd to an image and then burn it. I tried this: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my_cd_image.iso but it didnt work (i got a 2MB file). This here (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_a_VCD_or_SVCD) only describes how to create the vcd from a mpg. I want to be able to copy this vcd. I have vcdimager installed but there is no vcdxrip for gentoo. I dont have any graphical mode enabled because I dont have a monitor there. Can anyone help me? Thanks for any assistance,
