Hi!

I bought a few VCDs yesterday. Today I was going to make their backups. Now the problems start.

The CD Plays well on my portable VCD Walkman. But, when I insert that CD in the PC, Windows shows the Label of the Drive as "CDROM". When, I double click on it, it gives me an error. When I try to play it in PowerDVD it says No Disc Found.

However, when I open CloneCD and start to copy the Disc, it says Analysing and after sometimes starts cloning the disc. However, when it reaches 92%, the reader encounters errors reading sectors and from there it continues to find errors. I kept it running for 20 mins and stopped it thereafter.


Can someone guide me how to Back this up?

All VCDs from this company "Prism Video" India are such types. Play well on players but, not on computers.

This worked for me...

You can re-master the VCD:

1. Use ISOBuster to extract and filter the mpeg video+sound, which should give you a file.

2. Use Nero with VCD project to master a VCD and include the mpeg file.

3. Burn it.

OK, Thanks for the info. I'll try it today evening.

You can also try AnyDVD or Alcohol 120% to copy the disc.

Am out of town so couldn't try Truman's procedure. However, I have CloneCD and AnyDVD installed and running. No difference enabling/disabling AnyDVD.
