[ubuntu-in] VCD Problems

[ramnarayan.k at gmail.com]

Hi

Have been having some problems playing VCD's

the actual movie files are typically AVSEQ01***.DAT which show up as AVI
 videos on Ubuntu.

First I can't play it - get an error message saying

*Could Not play vcd:///media/dvdrecorder*

*"There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie"*

Then when I try to copy i get the following message

Error "I/O error" while copying /media/dvdrecorder/mpegav/avseq01.dat

***
The file does play (after i copied it using windows) and renaming the
file with an mpeg extension.

***
Would like some advice on what the problem might be and what can be done

thanks

regards
ram
