[VCDImager Bugs/Devel] Not really a bug

[Stephen Inkpen]

I was ripping some vcds a friend had made for me and came across:

beta% vcdrip --rip --cdrom-device=/dev/hdc
   INFO: track_00.mpg: 1251 -> 108350
reading 24:0ioctl(): Input/output error

vcdrip then abruptly exits. It seems that the software or hardware
that created the vcd messes up at the end of each track. The mpg
file that has already been written out works fine but vcdrip
doesn't continue to the next tracks.

This patch will return a buffer of zeros when it hits the input/output
error and it continues reading the vcd. That way you can continue to
grab the rest of the tracks.

          {
            perror ("ioctl()");
!           exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

--- 209,214 ----
          {
            perror ("ioctl()");
!                 memset(data,0,M2RAW_SIZE);
! //          exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

Of course, if you see the input/output error at the beginning of the vcd
changes are that the vcd is completely bad.
