Seriously, a video CD should play on most DVD players. To play on your Mac, there are 4 shareware programs. MacVCD 3.2 for OS 9, MacVCD X 4.1 for OS X, VideoLAN Client 0.4.6 for OS X and VCD Player 1.5.3 for OS 9. All are available at <http://www.macupdate.com> as a download. There are more programs available for playing a VCD than I list too.
I've tried VideoLAN and MacVCD. VideoLAN is my choice over MacVCD as MacVCD is limited to 5 minutes of demo use and it quits. The video CD I made is 9 minutes and it was a turn off to see my show stop after 5 minutes; so I'd try VideoLAN. Happy viewing. Eric -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
