I am trying to copy a VCD onto my Hard Drive, I am using VCD Gear, but everytime I try, I get a message about the .dat file having the wrong XA header. What is the XA header, and is there any way to fix this problem. I tried to use VCD Clipper, but I received an invalid file message, so maybe there is just a problem with my VCD, which I got from a friend. Please let me know if there is a solution.
