Video CD adapter for Audio Cd player

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I have seen a web page a few weeks ago that was selling a device to allow any audio cd player to play videoCD's. Has anyone heard of this and does it work? It seems pretty implausable to me since audio cd player have no video outputs. Thanks

The technician who installs the convertor tests the CD Player and all the connectors are on the add-on unit. Go to www.fivestarlaser.com to find a place in the US that converts Audio CD Players to Video CD players. And yes they work, many folks convert thier systems over.

Technicians probe RF out pin of the chip, which is reading digital data from the CD. They take out that digital signal & feed to add-on unit. It costs around 2700 Rs (~65 US $) in India.
