ok, if you are trying to copy a VCD I assume that you can play the original in your player. Also I assume that you do not mean you are trying to rip a DVD to VCD. I would try CloneCD like someone else suggested first. Now I have had it where that would not work for some reason. The copy would play fine on the computer but not in the DVD player. So what I had to do was put the VCD (Original) into the computer drive and then locate and copy the .dat file to the hard drive. Then start Nero(later version) and Select the VCD option. Then drag that .dat file into it and it will convert it to an mpg file and burn a brand new VCD that will play on your DVD player. But again that is only of you know your machine will play the original. And only if you can not get the CloneCD to copy a working copy. Then this meathod should work.
