I am trying to take some game footage on cd and permanently save it on my hard drive, yet it seems impossible. CD footage is from a camcorder and isn't copyrighted or anything of that nature...... suggestions ?
By video CD, do you mean an actual video CD - ie the kind that was popular in Asia before DVD, and stores about an hour of good VHS-quality video?
If so, I believe the actual video will be in a large file (or files) with the extension .DAT and you should be able to just copy it over to the PC, and then either play it manually in something like VLC or rename it to .MPG and play it in any player that does Mpeg1.
If it's from a camcorder, it could also be some semi-proprietary format. If you're lucky, it will be .MOD files which are just another renamed MPeg (with a few options missing, for example if it's widescreen if you just rename it to .MPG it will probably play as 4:3 - google on SDCopy for a good program to fix that.)
