hi every body :D ,


i had some problem with my vcds( :shock: ).

i brought harry potter & chamber of secrets vcd.
i played my harry cd-1 wihtout any problem on my computer. however if i tried to play the second cd the cd icon in the my computer shows that there is a cd of size 560 md but it dont shows any folders which the first cd shows as such mpegav from which i chhose avseq01.dat.

however if i played the cd in my vcd player it is playing. :roll:

r the vcd manufacturers protected the cd. if so why dont they protect the first one.

if so my question is there any software that will emulate the cd player and play the vcd in the computer too.

ps: the cd fresh and dont carry any scratches. :(

Maybe ur CD-Rom was heated up.I happened to me once,when I tried after some time(i.e. when it cooled up) it worked.
