vcd's are a reasonably simple format to copy... in that they are 
basically a data cd with a pre-defined layout, a bunch of mpg's with 
.dat extenstions in one directory, and the gear to tell the player about 
menu's and delays between chapters in other directories....

you should be able to copy it fine with EZ cd creator, personally, I 
prefer Nero, which is also what I use to create VCD's from mpg's which 
I've re-encoded using TMPGEnc to the correct format.. (in my case, PAL)

this tends to create a slightly better overall result than letting nero 
re-encode the files itself... but it's not alway noticeable...

anyway... back to the original question... it should copy fine with 
pretty much any cd copying software, vcd's arent copy protected, so that 
shouldnt be a problem....
