AI Thread Summary
To extract video from damaged VCDs, using VLC media player is a reliable option, as it can handle many damaged files effectively. If VLC cannot play the video, it is likely not salvageable.

Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1.
