older SVCD discs not readable

[powamike]

Is it common to encounter issues while ripping older SVCDs? Specifically, some users report that their ripping software is unable to find any data on the disc.

Knowing what errors were encountered would be helpful.

Could you please post your HB logs, instructions can be found here:

That being said, I'm pretty sure HandBrake does not support VCD/SVCD folder structures anyway.

Isn't a VCD/SVCD just an MPEG/MPEG2-Stream? Opening the DAT file directly might work eventually.

Thanks for reply!
No matter what I open as source (folder or file) the message is "No Valid Source Found" even .DAT file

Could you try opening one of the .MPG files and post your handbrake log here.
