Does anybody can answer this VCD question, i found a seller in the net which is able to producer VCD which cannot be copy on a cd rom, but it can be copy on a DVD rom to pc, most of the disk have the function of preventing it being readable from cd-rom, but strange it can be read from a VCD player which should have the same len(i think so) with normal cd-rom as it is just to read.

I'm skeptical. DVD ROM drives can read anything that CD-ROM drives can read. You should be aware that VCD does not officially support any copy protection and such schemes may make the VCDs unplayable on some players. I'm always amazed at how many people want to copy protect their own VCDs. Honestly, how many people do you guys think want to "pirate" your home movies?

It's not all home movies. VCD is a good way of distributing industrial/training video and sharing test edits/dailies. I think there's little advantage to go to DVD-R(AM) for this purpose as most DVD players that read DVD-R(AM) also read VCD. VCD gives the added advantage of being read in almost all PCs in place in offices in the US, while DVD isn't.

Cheers

Maybe you could try using CloneCD to copy the vcd. It is pretty decent at bypassing copy protection schemes. Training videos on vcd? Yeah right.

Actually, yes, on VCD. They're cheaper to press than VHS.
