If it were not illogical, then people would not try to play a VCD on their Mac. If you look at the icon for a VCD, it looks like something QT could play. You're using an example of a hard copy is not the same as looking at a QT file and a VCD file and then making erroneous conclusions. When I say illogical in this case I just meant from a simplistic view. Plenty of people have made this mistake of trying to play a VCD on Mac without the right SW. OK the VCD file will play if you click on it but the sound and video will not be there. Eric -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
