for whatever reason, backups, conversion from one format to another, new dvd camera, standardising your media library etc, you might need this handy little utility which is surprisingly easy to use. it converts the contents of a vcd to mgp among other handy functions
the utility is called cdxa2mpeg and it comes packages in fedora in vcdimager
and you use like so:
1. mount your VCD or iso
mount -o loop $1 /mnt/iso
2. convert from DAT format to MPG
for i in `ls /mnt/iso/MPEGAV`
do
cdxa2mpeg -v /mnt/iso/MPEGAV/$i /home/marafa/uploads/2012/$i.mpg
done
3. put them all together into 1 big file
cat AVSEQ01.DAT.mpg AVSEQ02.DAT.mpg AVSEQ03.DAT.mpg AVSEQ04.DAT.mpg > big_file.mpg
4. watch!
smplayer big_file.mpg
