I haven't actually done this yet, but I've been reading up on it. VCDs are not iso format, so they need to be burned with different tools and ripped (in the same way that one rips CDs and DVDs) rather than read. There is a (Debian) package called vcdtools that inclues an app called mkvcdfs. Its man page says the images it creates can be burned with cdrdao (but apparently not with cdrecord). Someday I'll have the time to try this out. If your someday comes sooner than mine, and you get this working, please tell us what the details are. For ripping VCDs, there is a (Debian) package called vcdimager that converts the VCD content to regular mpeg. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
