Yes. Like audio CDs, VCDs use mode-2 sessions, which have less error correction than data CDs (but can store more data, e.g. a standard 80-minute CD-R can hold 700MB as a data CD but 800MB as a VCD or audio CD). To copy mode-2 CDs, you will want software which doesn't abort on an I/O error (and, ideally, prevents or limits retries within the CD drive itself). Try some of the links found from: http://www.google.com/search?q=VCD%20%22mode%202%22 for more information. -- Glynn Clements
