    welcome to the forum cori....

    you should provide information what "cd" it is......

    is it a vcd or svcd or kvcd or cvcd or a simple iso containing an avi
    or ogm or a dvd...........

    do the following : either tell us , when you are sure or browse the cd to its contents, when you got the list of its contents, then take a screenshot and post it here!!

        If all you want to do is play the VCD's video from your hard drive, simply copy the "AVSEQ001.DAT" file to your hard drive.

        To play the "AVSEQ001.DAT" file from your hard drive, open Windows Media Player and "drag & drop" the "AVSEQ001.DAT" file onto the black window. It should start to play automatically...

          actually no thats not what i want. I downloaded a video, burnt to vcd then deleted the downloaded file from my computer. I need that file back on my computer to use in a video-compilation i want to make.
          short of downloading the video from the internet again, i was wondering how to get it from the vcd back to my hard drive

          am i making any sense at all?

            then just browse it ... refer to the mpeg folder

            look for the vvery big file which is named avseq001.dat
            and drag and drop it to harddisk... then alter the suffix from dat to mpg

            this works with almost any vcd or svcd.... just browse it and look for the
            biggest files on the cd....

            note that these files might carry a vcd or svcd header!!
