How to play VCDs and SVCDs on your computer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Agent 13 · 08-08-2004, 05:31 PM

Can anyone tell me of a free downloadable player to play VCDs and SVCDs? Our PowerDVD doesn't play them, neither do Winamp and Windows Media.

We had a free downloaded player awhile back, but I can't remember the name of it.

Thanks for any help,

Jen

Kristen,

I downloaded it, but I can't figure out how to play my discs. Would you please tell me briefly how to do that? I'd appreciate it so much.

download new codecs and update your windows media player. yours must be extremely outdated.

I have the most current Windows Media. Actually I'm computer illiterate, but I try.

Some of my vcds play in Windows Media player, but not all of them... which is the motivation behind trying to find a better player.

Hiya Jen,
This post isn't regarding vcds, but I didn't wanna clog up the board with a new post for a quick question

I am looking for a couple Abbott & Costello movies:
It Ain't Hay
A&C Meet Captain Kidd
Dance With Me Henry
Could you drop me an email & let me know if you have these?
I'm also looking for some Jerry Lewis flicks.
My new email is: martinis4three@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Martin.
