Software for VCD

[WiredBrain]

I'm looking a software that will enable me to watch movies in vcd format. Previously, I use XingMPEG Player but is there other player that has better image quality and speed ?

you have a vcd you want to play ?? (also works for SVCD) - you don't even need a DVD drive

ever thought of PowerDVD ?

if you have a bin/cue on your harddisk you need the Daemon Tools to load it up (Virual CD/DVD Drive)

that should do it

replace xx with tt

WiredBrain,

I think you'll find that PowerDVD that Shotokhaan linked to is not freeware.

For VCD format, there are quite a few decent freeware players, although some require external codecs.

Have a look at http://www.vcdhelp.com/tools.htm#players

I like I-VCD Player because it's small and simple & can autoplay VCD's, but as many of them are free - there's not much to stop you trying several out & seeing which one you think is the best quality!


cheers,

mcdruid.

You can play VCDs with Media Player. SVCD's however require another program. Popular ones are PowerDVD and WinDVD, but if I'm correct, the new Quicktime should play SVCDs too.

Can PowerDVD plays cue/bin images ?

Another question, how long will it take to convert a 90 minutes vcd into bin images ?

why 3D party softwares?
like eNuffSaid - said- Windows Media player does the job..free many features.

you can easily extract the .MPEG file from a .BIN file with VCDGear.
