Viewing VCD

[mersk]

Hi,

I have VCD drama series I would like to save into my computer hard disk for viewing on the road, how do I go about saving them.

What are the terms used to copy MPEGAV01.DAT file into computer and then convert this files into some format my mplayer, videolan, window media player can play.

Could you tell me what are the softwares required for the above functions? I'm using Powerbook G4, 10.2.8.

One way if you have Toast 6 is to insert the VCD and choose Disc Info in the Toast Recorder menu. There you can click on the video(s) on the disc and export them to MPEG on your hard drive.

that might work for hard to play VCDs on the mac.

QuickTime 6.5 plays the MPEGs off VCDs (not SVCDs) by opening the .dat file in the MPEGAV folder with QT.

And of course VLC player for OSX has a OPEN DISC that has a SELECT VCD or DVD setting to it
