Can't I play a video CD on my  iMac?

Hello there,
I had recently purchased a new video CD [it was manufactured in October 2002] and found out that my Mac is unable to play this video.
The video format is:
How can I, or, can I, get to view this CD on Mac?

Thanks for chipping in! I had thought that this thread had stopped, but...your entry has 'allowed me' the opportunity to learn more!
Actually, I myself was not satisfied at the quality at which the video CD was playing in the VLC player on my Mac. In fact I felt that the quality of video CD which I had watched on a small and even cheap DVD player I have was of a superior quality.
I shall try out what you have suggested but have this apprehension and this doubt: my apprehension is that the CD would be a protected one which I would'nt be able to copy; and my doubt is this...how or what app should I use to copy the video CD onto a drive?

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

    Thank you Phil0124, I think that is the problem.

    I am going to contact my internet provider. Thank you.

  • Why can't I play my videos on iPhone 6 without requiring an Internet connection?!?! This is absolutely FKSKFIEDJ absurd and apple better come up with a solution.

    Seriously, how much of a stupid iinconvenience is this? Why should I require a connection to play the videos I've recorded on my phone?

    Hi
    Could I ask a couple of questions please?
    It would almost seem from your description that the video is not completely or correctly recorded or that it is some how corrupted. From your description it appears that with the internet connection on - you are able to stream but not play it otherwise
    1. Is this just one affected video or is it happening with other videos as well?
    2. Any chance you can delete and re record the video and see if that solves the problem?

  • Can Second Monitor Play VLC Videos?

    I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks.  I plan to use my TV as a second monitor.  I know that I have to use AppleTV to connect wirelessly to my TV.  Will AppleTV allow me to play "VLC" videos?

    Tried with Firefox and the AdBlock disabled. It went a step further -- on Safari, the video button just disappears -- but just got a black screen. Please forgive the clunky replies, but when I reply to the specific comment, I get an error message. When I use advanced editor, it plunks the reply down here, as if I'm replying to my own question.
    Sounds like you have "other" issues, perhaps a corrupt cache file.
    Backup your data off the machine just in case and disconnect all drives, then run all of OnyX's maintenance and cleaning aspects and be sure to reboot at the end.
    See how that works for you, like giving your OS X a enema.

    So true. I insall Perian, Flip4Mac (because they work so well with Quicktime) and always have MPEG Streamclip on hand and anything I can't play now, well I really don't worry about. Have never tried MPlayerX but looks like it may be worth a punt.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    It is my understanding that Air Play involves streaming content from a Mac or an iOS deice; iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, to an Apple TV.

  • Why can't I play  .mpg videos?

    I am confused as to why mpg videos will not play on my Mac?

    Thomas A Reed wrote:
    Again, what am I missing? How are .mpg files not the right kind of videos when .mpg files are the ones being discussed?
    I was making a joke about p**n videos. There are innumerable video codecs out there and only a few of them have Mac versions. The authors don't care if Mac users can't view the video, because they don't care if anyone can view the video. They just want Windows users to download and install the codec and, more importantly, the virus that comes with it. Why make a Mac-compatibile codec when the true payload, the virus, won't work on a Mac?

  • Why can't I play Quicktime video in my I-Movie?

    I can take video with my still digital camera. I upload it to I-Photo and it plays just fine with QuickTime. Then I import it into my I-Movie and the video is there but there is no sound. Can I do something to make the sound play? I've tried moving the sound thing up and down and nothing changes. Help please!

    To add to what Mayahyuk asked, are you also using a previous version of iMovie '08 or performing a manual QT conversion of iMovie '08? As previously indicated, Sony video clips when imported to previous versions of iMovie or when converted by QT. This is because Sony stores its video in a "muxed" format that is only playback supported by QT. Previous versions of iMovie automatically convert such files for editing as part of the import process losing the audio. (Manually converting the files in QT applications does also loses the audio.)
    Can I do something to make the sound play?
    In the case of Sony's MPEG-1 clips, simply use an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application to convert the video arnd retain the audio. Applications like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. will handle this.
    i would also love to know the solution to this, since i have tons of videos i can do nothing with...
    iSquint would likely help in your case as you can drop "handfuls" of clips to the "batch" processing window and allow it to automatically convert each in turn on its own.
