MacVCD X adds Super VCD playback support - version 4.1 released
Mireth Technology has released version 4.1 of MacVCD X for Macintosh OS X. This release of our popular Video CD player adds support for Super VCD playback (with the purchase of Apple’s Quicktime MPEG2 component), adds playback in a re-sizeable floating window, adds the repeat track feature, ensures OS 10.2 compatibility, and provides improved playback on slower machines.
MacVCD X is the easy-to-use, full featured Video CD and Super VCD Player for the Macintosh. VCD movies are frequently stored in multiple files (called tracks) and because of CD storage size limitations, are often stored on more than one disk. MacVCD X recognizes the VCD format, finds, loads and plays the movie for you, automatically chaining the tracks together and ejecting the disk when it's done. Sit back and enjoy the movie on full screen, or even on your TV, with no interruptions except to insert the next disk.
MacVCD X also comes with several control options. Use the menu bar and the movie controller on the top and bottom of the screen, or maximize screen size by hiding the menu bar and movie controller and use the keyboard equivalents instead. Use the floating window feature to watch a movie while you use your Mac to do something else. Or use MacVCD X to play the movie on your TV. Advanced movie controls include track repeat, slow motion, fast motion, backwards playback and speech activated control. That’s the easy way to play.

- Full screen display, even on large monitors
