VCD Player simplifies the process of playing video compact discs on your
Mac. With most other players, you only get video in a tiny area of your
screen, or in an area surrounded by a huge border of some sort. VCD Player
smoothes the video playback process and allows you to watch full-screen
movies in the MPEG format, without any headache-inducing distortion to make
the movie unwatchable. There are various configurable options that control
sound and playback, and just as with a sound-only CD player, you can control
which track to start watching. VCD Player can remember where you stopped
playing the movie after you quit the program, restarted your Mac, or even
changed to another disc then changed back.
System Requirements
- Power PC
- QuickTime 2.5 or later
- QuickTime MPEG Extension 1.0 or later
What's new?
- Fixed a bug that prevents some registered users from unlocking VCD Player.

Subject: Drive expandability options (blue-and-white G3)
About a year ago I bought a refurb blue-and-white G3/400 here in the
UK. I was assured by the dealer that I could add a second ATA hard
drive to it if I wanted - this was a particular concern of mine as I
knew that some blue-and-whites could not accept a second ATA drive.
Just recently I was finally going to get round to buying a second
drive, and opened up the machine to find it did not contain the
mounting bracket which Apple's online documentation says is one
indicator of whether the logic board is able to take a second drive
or not (the other is the presence of RAGE PRO graphics; my machine
has RAGE 128). On the assumption I really can't add a second ATA
drive (is there some unsupported way to do it?), I wonder how Digest
readers have managed to add extra storage. What I really want is
cheap backup, to the tune of at least 20 gigs; I am not fussed about
drive speed or data transfer rates. I would prefer not to get an
external drive as prices are relatively high and I don't want to have
to find yet another power socket for another device. Nor do I want to
backup to tape, CD-RW or DVD-R. Suggestions (and counter-arguments)
gratefully accepted. Cheers.
R.

Subject: G3 RAM
Can I just confirm what you're saying here? I have a beige G3/266 (now upped to a 500 with a MaxPowr card), but I believed that it would only take 192Mb RAM (which it has). If you're
saying it will take more, then it extends the life of the beast for quite a while yet since I can't afford a new one. Is the information you gave for any beige G3?
Thanks (and waiting with renewed hope!)
