Yesterday, I thought I’d share some MPEG files with a friend from India. Unfortunately, those files were on a VCD.
I’d just thought that I could drag and drop the files onto my hard disk, but I tried using the Finder and Ubuntu. I even used Disk Copy on the Mac to try and make a disc image of the VCD and then copy the files off that way.
It didn’t work. So I went to the trusty repositories and found a package called "vcdimager". I tried installing it, and it told me that the dependancies it needed were unavailable!
So now I’m really annoyed. I’ve mentioned it on the Ubuntu Forums and I hope the MOTUs fix the problem, or that someone provides me with another way to get the package(s) I need.
Now I’m wondering: Why can Quicktime read the files from the VCD, but nothing copy them? Surely it’s all just reading?
