VCD ERROR CORECTION

[vijaythefool]

i copied a .dat file from a damaged cd using bad copy pro.
i found there was a problem in the very first part of the movie .
i would like to cut of the very first part of the movie .

the movie currently plays only on power dvd .
if started from the begining the player encounters some error .

is there any software to correct this .dat file

 

[theraven]

u can encode it using virtual dub and use its cuttin feature

or use tmpgenc to encode it to vcd ( mpeg1 ) format and u can skip the first few problematic frames

 

[vijaythefool]

Tried almost every thing but herosoft helped to change the format coming over the damaged beginig part but still causes reading problem on other players

Does the player's seek bar hangs while playing the problematic frames?then using VCDGear, do a conversion to mpeg from mpeg/dat, with the option Fix mpeg errors.

damn i click on reply and swatkats already there
anyways like i said in tmpgenc there is an option where u can select the part of file u wanna code
this HAS to work
do trial and error till u find the frames that do not cause any trouble
set that as ur start frame and ur end frame will be -1 as default !!
let it code

VCD Gear the CD file directly... It definetly works.. works always 4 me.. if more errors r there.. takes longer time

Even the ALL MEDIA FIXER given in the digit DVD does fine -it worked fine for me.
