Extracting video from damaged VCDs

[Deathfish]

what's the best way to extract video from damaged VCDs?

the final video needs to be in mov, mpg, mp4, wmv or similar format...

If it's important, take it to a professional data recovery service.

VLC is pretty reliable, even for damaged files. Typically, if it won't play in VLC it isn't salvageable.
