Title: Playing back VCD
Post by: escaflo on May 11, 2003, 11:10:05 am

Hi,

I would like to say that MC is indeed one the best all in one  jukebox that I have used. But there is one small thing though that I notice. I can't seem to get MC to play any VCD file. Usually those file are named .dat and MC just refuse to play them even if I right click those file and open them with MC. I am hoping that since MC can play DVD, it can also play VCD.

As I got a couple of VCDs that I would very much like to watch using MC, I hope there's a solution for this.

I don't think MC9 can play back VCDs.  This is just a guess on my part, as I'm too lazy to really check.  In case it does work out that way, here is a free, easy-to-use, lightweight VCD player:

You might be able to drag the dat file onto the player window (lower left corner of MC).

We will take a look at better support of VCD's soon.  We disabled the dat file type because there were too many accounting files ending up as MC files.

Nah, it is not possible. It stills tell me that no media type was selected.

It's ok then, i will wait for your new build then.
