Copy Video CD 

http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Copy_Video.shtml

To copy a Video CD (these use audio CD disks—the common CD-R) the following should do the trick:

$ cdrdao read-cd --paranoia-mode 2 --read-raw data.toc

There are other tools including readvcd, vcdimager, and vcdgear. (NB, no found any more as of 2004.11.07)

--paranoia-mode mode
       Sets the correction mode for digital  audio  extraction.  0:  No
       checking,  data  is  copied  directly from the drive. 1: Perform
       overlapped reading to avoid jitter. 2: Like  1  but  with  addi-
       tional  checks  of the read audio data. 3: Like 2 but with addi-
       tional scratch detection and repair.
The extraction speed reduces from 0 to 3.
Default is the full paranoia mode (3).
