How can I play VCD 2.0 on my laptop ?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

Hi,

I recently bought some movies on VCD 2.0 format. They play on my DVD player without any problems. But I can't play them on my laptop like some older VCD's. Is there a simple solution ? I have already downloaded the latest version of Windows Media Player and tried QuickTime 4.0.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Look for the foll directory -> MPEGAV and there look for AVSEQnn.DAT file. Play this with WMP and it works

Dat file works with WMP only when the VCD is 1.0 and not 2.0

The only software that recognizes VCD 2.0 is WINDVD

Any DVD player (software) could handle VCD2.0. such as powerDVD...etc :>
