I want to copy them to my hard drive to watch them that way. I just can't seem to do that. I tried dd if=/dev/acd0c of=vcdimg bs=2048 but that doesn't work. It dumps about 1.5 megs into a .bin file, which is definitely not right, as these vcds have hundreds of megs on each of them. vcdimager (actually vcdxrip, which comes with it,) doesn't have a CD-ROM image driver available for my architecture. Has anyone had success with this?
