You can't copy a VCD by copying the files to the hard drive, then burning 
to a new disc.  You have to copy direct from one disc to the other.  There 
is something in the formatting of the disc that identifies it as a VCD, and 
if you burn from the hard drive that bit doesn't happen (unless you're 
using special VCD burning programs) and you just get a normal data CD.

but if you make a direct copy, the VCD formatting bit gets copied too!

of course, if you've only got one CD drive to copy from and burn to, you're 
in trouble!
