    OHHHHH i thought you downloaded the vcd's. My apologies. Anyway, if you have a dvd drive, WinDVD will play vcd just fine, just put in the disk and launch WinDVD. Sorry about that mix up!

    Actually I'm going to get that one myself aswell because you are the second person who mentioned it. However I still think everyone should get a copy of WinDVD cause its just great for playing dvd/vcd/svcd/divx/xvid/avi and more!
