A TOC error?
I believe that stands for Table of Contents in CDs that corporates the lengths of tracks in a disc.

Are your CDs scratched or damaged?
Also, your drive may not be working.

I would try ripping the game discs on another computer, and see if it works. If so, that would mean your CD drive is the problem here.

Then I'm under the guess that your FF9 CDs are damaged and scratched.

I still recommend trying to rip it on another computer just in case, though.

That's because the "Open..." command is only for opening visible .str, .mov, etc. files in the CD or on the hardrive. In most cases, your computer can't read all the files on the PS disc by itself.

Although you can open some of the .STR files off the disc directly in FF9, those aren't all the available FMVs on that FF9 disc- You can obtain all the FMVs by using the prior method.
