Can you play DVDs on your PC? If so, it should really play your VCDs too. Try going to to website for the CD/DVD player that's in your computer, and see if you can update the drivers. . . There's lots of software out there that will let you make copies of DVDs and VCDs. Apollo DVD Copy is really good. You can download it, and use it for 7 copies before you have to pay for it! Just go into your search engine and look for Apollo DVD Copy. . . Hope this helps,. . Nigel. Castleford, United Kingdom.
