All normal VCD's can easily be watched using the standard
Windows Media Player.
When I say "normal"
VCD's I mean VCD's with the good file-structure on the CD which looks like this
when you browse the CD in the explorer (example is taken from the Basel 1992
VCD):
The directory MPEGAV contains the DAT-files that you need:
1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Select File, Open
3. Browse to your CD-drive holding the VCD
4. Open the directory MPEGAV
5. For "file-types" select the option "all files (*.*)"
6. Select the DAT-files, click "open" and there you go!
Note: to watch SVCD's (Super Video-CD's) you need to
have special software like PowerDVD for example.
Also, SVCD's can just like
normal VCD's be watched in any CD-ROM drive, you don't need to have a DVD-ROM
drive.
Have fun watching the video's!
