Extracting Mpeg File From Burned Image

[stanleycup]

If I have used DVD2SVCD to create 2 bin files and have burned
them to CDs already, how do I extract the mpg file off of the
CD?

I have read a couple of threads saying to use various tools like
VCDGear, TSCV, Discjuggler combined with CDMage to do this.

What is the best method? I was towards VCDGear and using the
mpg->mpg option to do the extraction

the best method is:
use vcdeasy

1) run vcdeasy and go to tools;
2)there is a field "vcdxrip: disassemble a (s)vcd disc". Choose "from: cd reader";
3)press "xml file" button;
4)choose the output folder;
6) press "rip" and wait;
7) it is done.

ps: vcdeasy will use cdrdao to make a svcd image and will use vcdxrip (this program belong to vcdimager package, used by vcdeasy)to extract the mpg from that image. If the extracted mpg is smaller than it should be this means that there were errors while BURNING the original svcd image. Vcdxrip doesn't tolerate these errors.
If this happens, you will need to use CDmage to extract the avseq01.mpg file from the image created by vcdeasy/cdrdao. The cdmage extracted file will have a RIFF head (tippical of cdxa extractions). You will need to use cdxa2mpg (which you can find int the vcdimager folder) to convert this "fake" cdxa.

Tries your method and my machine locks up as soon as I hit the
rip button.

Am I suppose to choose any of the options under the vcdxrip section?

OH. You have no luck... Well, this issue happens to me when I try to use vcdEasy while DVD2SVCD is running. Does it was the same for you?

Btw: sometimes I do use an alternative method. It uses cloneCD, cdmage and vcdeasy:
a) copy the CD using cloneCD, enabling cuesheet creation;
b) cloneCD will create cue/img files. However, vcdxrip (under vcdeasy control) cannot rip mpg files from img files. Use cdmage to convert cue/img -> cue/bin;
c) use vcdxrip to rip the mpg file from the bin file.
