[HOW TO] Rip VCD in Xubuntu
VCD (Video Compact Disc) is a CD that contains video and sound compressed as MPEG. This MPEG file can be extracted using the vcdxrip tool from the vcdimager package. Install vcdimager Open a terminal window and run: sudo apt-get install vcdimager -y Extract MPEG track This step depends on the source of the VCD (CD-ROM, *.bin, *.ngr, ...). The general command form for extracting the MPEG file we'll use is: vcdxrip -p --nofile SOURCE_OPTION IMAGE_FILE Where IMAGE_FILE is something like /dev/sr0, videocd.bin, videocd.ngr, ... and SOURCE_OPTION is one of the following (between parenthesis is the description, don't type it): -b (bin image file) -c (cue image file) -N (Nero image file) --toc-file ("toc" image file) -C (CD-ROM) Extract example for bin image: vcdxrip -p --nofiles -b videocd.bin The program will extract the MPEG as avseq01.mpg .
