VCD to MP4
I have a VCD and I want to rip it to my computer so that I can convert it to a MP4 for my ipod. I have mac the ripper, handbrake and isquint.
Handbrake can no detect the volume
isquint needs a single file
mac the ripper does not detect the volume
I rip my dvds all the time but it wont recognize a VCD. There is no a VIDEO_TS Folder on a VCD.. Any programs that might help me?

Why are you duplicating your previous thread?

Have you tried extracting the MPEG-1 data from your VCD using vcdgear and let iTunes or QT do it's thing... Or, as Nermal suggested copy the VCD to the HDD and let iSquint do it.

Just like on a DVD the only thing that metters is the VIDEO_TS folder, on a VCD the olny thing that matters is the DAT file, which is baslically an MPEG-1 file with some additional information in front of it. it lives in the MPEGAV folder and usually has a name like AVSEQnn.DAT. If there are mutiple DAT files, these represent different titles on the VCD.
[EDIT: More info on the VCD format is here: http://www.videohelp.com/vcd]
As theBB suggests some programs will ignore the additional header info in the DAT file and will treat them as good MPEG files, but if not you can remove the header with vcdgear as I suggested in the first post.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!
Handbrake can probably do it now that they changed its input requirements. At the time THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO it would only convert straight from DVD.
