I've been trying to do that for a while but all I got is an ill formatted MPEG file which only shows the top 10-15% of the screen. I need the data for some experiments I'm doing with a video server as part of PhD. I tried with different modes (mode 2 form 2) using an ATAPI CDROM but all of them seen similar. I actually have to scan the data until I find a MPEG start sequence and then pipe the rest to a mpeg2play. I noticed there is a ISO9600 file system in the track 1 but the same happens if I read the data in this way. 1) Is VideoCD compatible with MPEG1? 2) How are you reading the data? Any comment or help would be appreciated. beto ------- End of Forwarded Message
