Once I grabbed stuff from my camcorder, processed it in cinelerra and generated a video CD. Then I deleted everything. Since - since I started with video editing - disc space is exspensive again.
Easy way to copy an existing video CD? I admit, I also terminated some CDs. But also you can browse the video CD, it is no data CD. So you have to take a disk image.
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "Usage: copy-vcd "
echo
echo " the name of the CD-image-file."
echo
exit
fi
echo "Please insert the source CD!"
read
# read it
cdrdao read-cd --device 0,3,0 --paranoia-mode 2 --read-raw --datafile $1.raw $1.toc
echo "Please insert the destination CD!"
read
# write it
cdrdao write --device 0,3,0 --speed 4 --eject $1.toc
