[CLUE-Tech] Copying VCDs?

[Sean LeBlanc]

Just wondering if anyone has done this in Linux already...I had received a
few movies (Ringu 0 and Ringu 2) in VCD format, but the first disc of one of
them was not readable by either of my console-type DVD players. I could ,
however,  read it in my computer, and had to watch it on my computer. 

It's my understanding that (S)VCDs are just MPGs (of certain res, and
certain framerate) with a specific directory structure, but I'm unsure of
what options to give to mkisofs - or is there a way to skip the mkisofs step
if I'm copying from one drive to another?

IIRC, I think I copied the contents from a Windoze box (maybe the CD was
only readable on that box and that might be why - I'll have to double check,
if so, it dual boots to FreeBSD so I could use mkisofs from there
regardless) , put it on Linux, did a mkisofs with -J and -R and burned. It
didn't play on my DVD players, either.


Anyway, before I go doing RTFM'ing on this I wanted to be lazy and ask here
on the offchance anyone else has done this already...
