simple and nice

First I try to use dd and sdd, the common unix utility for capturing and writing disc image. Both tools does not produce an exact image of the vcd, which I think more to the problem of the vcd itself. I can\'t even play them on my FreeBSD box. Then I found that cdrdao has an option --read-cd that can be use to dump the image of the vcd into ISO image. So my life would be easier. To copy the VCD I just run this command:
# cdrdao read-cd --device 1,1,0 --driver generic-mmc -v 3 vcd.toc
This command will produce file data.bin and vcd.toc which can be used to burn to CDR. This command will burn the produced image to the CDR:
# cdrdao write --device 1,1,0 --driver generic-mmc vcd.toc
The --device option should reflect the position of the CDR-W devices.
