I have a VCD that is very badly scratched. When I try to copy the MPEG file, it reads approx 95% of the way and the Finder quits with an error code -36 (Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "AVSEQ01.DAT" could not be read or written.)
The CD-ROM unit in my mini seems quite sensitive and less forgiving than an off-the-shelf VCD player. Is there any way I can keep what is able to be read on my HD so I may edit out the corrupted parts of the video?
I've searched around and don't seem to have much luck with suggestions to use utilities like cdparanoia to try to get an exact copy of the CD [thus away from the optical defects of the media].
Anyone have any other suggestions?
